Hi there, previously I can locate a documentation for all available env variables configuration for the Directus Docker Image deployment in this page: [https://docs.directus.io/self-hosted/config-options](https://docs.directus.io/self-hosted/config-options)

I am pretty sure there is more env that can be configured within the docker image, as you can see on this web archive for that page [Configuration Options | Directus Docs](https://web.archive.org/web/20250327172708/https://docs.directus.io/self-hosted/config-options)

Are all of that information moved to other page? Is it currently being updated? Thank you

Yeah, unfortunately it seems like old docs now have been removed from Google index while new ones are still not really complete, or at least not meaningful structured for several themes.

I’ve wrote a topic about this a few days ago. [Directus Docs troubles](https://community.directus.com/t/directus-docs-troubles/732)

The env configuration variables are located here in the new docs:

> **[General | Directus Docs](https://directus.io/docs/configuration/general)**
>
> Explore our resources and powerful data engine to build your projects confidently.

NOTE: each group of variables are in their own pages accessed via the menu on the left side bar. e.g. [https://directus.io/docs/configuration/security-limits](https://directus.io/docs/configuration/security-limits)

Hope this helps.

Thanks, tho even you pointed my nose right onto it, I had to search for it. 😅

On mobile it’s even less obvious that those menu points are related to each other

Might be just me, but I could deal easier with the old nav structure.
