System-owned environment variables#
The following environment variables are managed by Enterprise Gateway and listed here for completeness.
Warning
Manually setting these variables could adversely affect operations.
EG_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. Enterprise Gateway sets this value depending on whether the kernel is
using the DockerSwarmProcessProxy or DockerProcessProxy.
EG_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. Enterprise Gateway is listening
on that socket and will associate that connnection information with the responding
kernel.
