Olares environment variables ​

Olares provides a highly customizable installation process through the use of environment variables. These variables can override default settings, enabling advanced configurations to suit your specific requirements.

Usage examples ​

To customize the installation process, you can set the environment variables before running the installation command. For example:

bash
# Specify Kubernetes (k8s) instead of k3s
export KUBE_TYPE=k8s \
&& curl -sSfL https://olares.sh | bash -

Or, if you have already downloaded the installation script install.sh:

bash
# Specify Kubernetes (k8s) instead of k3s
export KUBE_TYPE=k8s && bash install.sh

Both methods achieve the same result. The environment variable KUBE_TYPE is passed to the installation script and modifies its behavior accordingly.
