Hostname and Path Configuration

Inferno needs to know the URL of where it is hosted, and it determines this based on environment variables. These environment variables need to be set in both the web and worker processes. The web process needs to know the URL because it is serving the URL. The worker process needs to know where Inferno is hosted even though it isn’t serving those URLs itself because some tests generate links to Inferno.

Hostname Configuration

In .env, set the INFERNO_HOST environment variable to the hostname. This allows Inferno to correctly construct things like absolute redirect and launch URLs for the SMART App Launch workflow.

Base Path Configuration

If Inferno won’t be hosted at the root of its host (e.g., you want to host Inferno at http://example.com/inferno rather than at http://example.com):

• Set the BASE_PATH environment variable in .env
• In nginx.conf, change location / to location /your_base_path
