Environment variables
Groove Builder prefers GROOVE_* environment variables. Matching APPSMITH_* names remain supported as compatibility aliases until a versioned deprecation policy is published.
Common variables
| Purpose | Prefer | Alias |
|---|---|---|
| Public base URL | GROOVE_BASE_URL / documented base URL vars | APPSMITH_BASE_URL (see also #appsmith_base_url anchors in older links) |
| Cloud services / broker | GROOVE_CLOUD_SERVICES_BASE_URL | APPSMITH_CLOUD_SERVICES_BASE_URL |
| Admin emails | Instance admin email list | APPSMITH_ADMIN_EMAILS |
| Signup disabled | Organization / env signup flags | Form-login and signup controls in Admin Settings |
Exact names vary by deploy path (Docker Compose vs Helm). Check your compose file or Helm values.yaml for the authoritative list.
tip
Never configure Groove Builder to fall back to Appsmith-operated endpoints (*.appsmith.com). Use a Groove-operated integration broker for OAuth and templates.
