{% for model_name, model_info in models.items() %}
{%- if model_name != "BaseSettings" and model_info.env_vars %}
## {{ model_name }}
{{ model_info.description }}
| Environment Variable | Type | Default | Description |

## Applying Configuration
There are two ways to apply configuration to Kodit:
1. A local `.env` file (e.g. `kodit --env-file .env serve`)
2. Environment variables (e.g. `DATA_DIR=/path/to/kodit/data kodit serve`)
How you specify environment variables is dependent on your deployment mechanism.
### Docker Compose
For example, in docker compose you can use the `environment` key:
```yaml
services:
kodit:
environment:
- DATA_DIR=/path/to/kodit/data
```
### Kubernetes
For example, in Kubernetes you can use the `env` key:
```yaml
env:
- name: DATA_DIR
value: /path/to/kodit/data
```
