Environment variables

  • SMART_WEB_SETTINGS_FILE Optional path to a `smart-web` settings JSON file. If omitted, the server reads `~/.config/smart-web/settings.json` when present.
  • SMART_WEB_TMP_DIR Optional temp root for smart-web dev snapshots and export staging. If omitted, smart-web uses a platform cache directory instead of an ambient home-directory temp path.
