System-owned environment variables#
The following environment variables are used by Gateway Provisioners and listed here for completeness.
Warning
Manually setting these variables could adversely affect operations.
GP_DOCKER_MODE
Docker only. Used by launch_docker.py to determine if the kernel container
should be created using the swarm service API or the regular docker container
API. The applicable docker-based provisioner sets this value depending on
whether the kernel is using the DockerSwarmProvisioner or DockerProvisioner.
GP_RESPONSE_ADDRESS
This value is set during each kernel launch and resides in the environment of
the kernel launch process. Its value represents the address to which the remote
kernel's connection information should be sent. Gateway Provisioner's `ResponseManager`
is listening on that socket and will associate that connection information with
the responding kernel.
