.env and .env.custom - documentation

[klemen-df]

Problem Statement

.env file currently contains 'SENTRY_EVENT_RETENTION_DAYS=90'

if i understand correctly then if I add in .env.custom this 'SENTRY_EVENT_RETENTION_DAYS=30' (and do nothing to .env file) then the value of 30 is used?

If this is the case then, maybe it's just me, it's not clear from this documentation here.

Solution Brainstorm

Yes that is correct

If you're up to it, you can propose a better copywriting for it, here: https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-docs/blob/d9c1147ecdef7ed3730c828331f43de2d68f8304/develop-docs/self-hosted/configuration.mdx?plain=1#L54-L70 (since I don't know how to make the copywriting even better 😆)

This issue has gone three weeks without activity. In another week, I will close it.

But! If you comment or otherwise update it, I will reset the clock, and if you remove the label Waiting for: Community, I will leave it alone ... forever!
