Configuration

Fivemanage Lite is configured entirely via environment variables. This makes it easy to deploy in containerized environments like Docker and Kubernetes.

​

Environment Variables

​

Infrastructure Dependencies

To run a fully functional instance, you must provision the following dependencies:

​

1. PostgreSQL (Primary Database)

Used for storing relational data, including user accounts, organization hierarchies, file metadata, and API tokens.

• Version: 14+ recommended.
• Connection: Configured via the DSN environment variable.

​

2. ClickHouse (Log Store)

Used for the high-performance ingestion and querying of structured logs. This is mandatory if you intend to use the logging features.

• Why ClickHouse?: It handles millions of log rows with minimal storage footprint and instant query speeds compared to traditional SQL databases.

​

3. S3-Compatible Storage

Used for storing actual file assets (images, user uploads).

• Supported Providers: AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, or MinIO (for self-hosting).

​

4. OpenTelemetry (Optional)

The application has native tracing support. You can connect it to a collector like Jaeger to visualize request flows and performance bottlenecks.
