backend/config -> Backend Enviroment Variables
src/config -> Frontend Enviroment Variables
Simply remove the .example from the end of the filename, and fill in the values.

Possible installation issues
Make issue
npm error gyp ERR! stack Error: not found: make
This is because you do not have the build essentials installed which is required for Linux. You can install them by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
Memory issue
Aborted (core dumped)
When running the npm run build command it may take more memory than node allows by default. You will get the above error in such a case. To fix this, you can run the following command instead when building:
NODE_OPTIONS="--max-old-space-size=4096" npm run build
You can read more about this issue here.

⬆️ Updating from a previous version of myDrive
If you are upgrading from myDrive 3 there is some data migration and scripts you must run for myDrive 4 to work properly.
Run the migration script
Note: Make sure you have env variables set
npm run migrate-to-mydrive4
Also, if you are updating from myDrive 3, or if you did not have video thumbnails enabled and would like to enable them now you can do so by running the following command:
Note: Make sure you have video thumbnails enabled in your env variables and FFMPEG installed.
npm run create-video-thumbnails
