Hi @florent. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

To check your application in a live environment rather than a development environment, you can use Docker Compose to manage different environments. Here’s how you can set it up:
1. Create Environment-Specific Docker Compose Files:
- Create separate configuration files for each environment, such as
docker-compose.production.yml, docker-compose.staging.yml, and docker-compose.development.yml.
2. Set Up Environment Variables:
- Use the environment or env_file keys in your docker-compose.yml file to provide environment variables for each service.
3. Run Docker Compose with the Specific Configuration File:
- Navigate to the location of your environment-specific configuration file.
- Use the -f or --file option with docker-compose to specify the configuration file for the environment you want to check.
For example, to run the application in a staging environment, you would use the following command:
This approach allows you to control how your application behaves in different environments by using environment variables and specific configuration files.
For more detailed information, you can refer to the Managing multiple Docker Compose environments (https://refine.dev/blog/docker-compose/#managing-multiple-docker-compose-environments-eg-development-production) section in the refine documentation.
If you need to investigate issues in production, you can also use port forwarding to debug locally. This avoids continuous fixes in production until the bug is resolved and properly tested. For more on this, see the Significance in local development and testing (https://refine.dev/blog/kubectl-port-forward/#significance-in-local-development-and-testing) section.
By following these steps, you can effectively check and manage your application in a live environment.
