The following environment variables can be used to adjust configuration

• NODE_ENV: specify if app should run in prod or dev mode.
  • prod will enable bundling and minifying
  • dev will start with browser-refresh for easier development
• DEBUG: value is passed to debug module to specify which packages should be logged
• KCAPP_API: by default api runs on http://localhost:8001, but this can be changed by setting it to http://<host>:<port>
• PORT : by default 3000
• DISK_CACHE: settings this will cache to disk (.cache) for optimized startup time between server runs. This folder must be deleted when a new version is deployed
