Environment Variables

If you do not have an internet connection available to launch in unlicensed mode, you can manually specify the IP address of your PFBucket server using an environment variable on your client workstation before running PFClean.

This environment variable must be named PFBUCKET_SERVER and should contain the local IPv4 address of your PFBucket server, for example:

192.168.50.10

If you are using non-default port numbers, these can also be included for the port and webport as follows:

192.168.50.10:8070:8071

If you wish to set this environment variable manually, please consult your operating system documentation or speak to your systems administrator for instructions on how to do this.

Alternatively, because it can often be difficult to set environment variables easily, you can place a configuration on the client workstation (either in the folder where PFClean is installed or in the user's Documents folder - see below for precise locations for each operating system).

This file should contain a single line for each environment variable, such as:

PFBUCKET_SERVER=192.168.50.10

The file must be named "environment.txt" and placed in any of the following locations before launching the application:

Linux (Rocky Linux)

$HOME/Documents/The Pixel Farm/PFClean/environment.txt
