Overview

The Environment Variables feature in Loupp allows you to view, edit, and manage .env files for your sites. Unlike traditional environment variable management systems, Loupp doesn’t store your .env files on its servers - instead, it provides a secure way to fetch, edit, and upload environment files as needed.

​
How It Works

​
Security-First Approach

No Permanent Storage

Loupp doesn’t store your .env files on its servers

On-Demand Access

Files are fetched when needed and removed after use

​
Workflow

1

Fetch .env file

When you need to edit environment variables, fetch the file from your server
2

Edit in browser

Use the built-in code editor to modify your environment variables
3

Save changes

Upload the modified file back to your server
4

Automatic cleanup

The file is automatically removed from Loupp’s storage

​
File Management

​
Removing .env from Loupp

To remove your .env file from Loupp’s storage:
1

Access the option

2

Confirm removal

Click the button to remove the file from temporary storage
This only removes the file from Loupp’s temporary storage - it doesn’t affect your server.

​
Automatic Cleanup

Loupp automatically manages file cleanup:

After Save

Files are automatically removed after successful upload
