Environment Variables

VALKEY_URL |
redis://127.0.0.1:6379 |
Service Environment (injected into other containers)
| Variable | Template Value | Resolved Example |
|---|---|---|
REDIS_URL |
redis://{{.ContainerName}}:6379 |
redis://charly-valkey:6379 |
Pod-aware: same-container consumers receive redis://localhost:6379, cross-container consumers receive redis://charly-valkey:6379. When charly config runs, REDIS_URL is automatically injected into the global charly.yml env for service discovery (Redis-compatible protocol).
See /charly-image:layer for env_provide field docs.
