Hi guys,
i’m trying to package [docmost](https://docmost.com/docs/).
But I’m facing 3 majors problemes:
1. App configuration is only based on env var.
Can the install script push a .env template in install folder, then I have a custom script that load the .env in app memory then run `pnpm start` ?
Because i’m not sure that nodejs by default load .env file in prod env.
2. The app needs a redis. How can i install this efficiency ?
3. LDAP is available but it needs to be set in the app.
I guess that the conf is saved in postgresql.
Thank for help !

Hello! Lots of apps have a .env file (I say it’s the common way to do). If you add `EnvironmentFile= __INSTALL_DIR__ ` in the systemd service it will be handled during its execution
For redis, there is a helper (you have to add redis-server in the deps).
You can have a look at [GitHub - YunoHost-Apps/fittrackee\_ynh: FitTrackee package for YunoHost 🚴](https://github.com/yunohost-apps/fittrackee_ynh) both for the .env and for redis (it’s a python package but the way of doing is the same)
