astro deployment variable create

This command is only available on Astro.

For a given Deployment on Astro, create environment variables in the Astro CLI by supplying either a key and value pair or a file (for example, .env) with a list of keys and values. This command is functionally identical to creating an environment variable in the Astro UI. See Set Environment Variables on Astro.

Usage

astro deployment variable create <key>=<value>

This command is recommended for automated workflows. To run this command in an automated process such as a CI/CD pipeline, you can generate an API token, then specify the ASTRO_API_TOKEN environment variable in the system running the Astro CLI:

export ASTRO_API_TOKEN=<your-token>

See Organization, Workspace, and Deployment API token documentation for more details about ways to use API tokens.

# Create a new secret environment variable
$ astro deployment variable create --deployment-id cl03oiq7d80402nwn7fsl3dmv AIRFLOW__SECRETS__BACKEND_KWARGS=<my-secret-value> --secret

# Create multiple environment variables for a Deployment at once by specifying multiple keys
$ astro deployment variable create AIRFLOW__CORE__PARALLELISM=32 MAX_ACTIVE_TASKS_PER_DAG=16 --deployment-id cl03oiq7d80402nwn7fsl3dmv
