I created my droplet, installed node and deployed my app from GitHub.
I have some variables in .env file. How can I add those variables in DO Droplet. Without them, my app won’t run.
Thank you

Hi there @Emmaueljbabatunde,
For Node.js I could suggest using the following package to load your env variables:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/dotenv
If you want to export the env variables from your .env file for your current shell session, you could use the following command:
export $(cat .env | xargs)
Hope that this helps. Regards, Bobby
