cobalt web

the cobalt frontend is a static web app built with sveltekit + vite.

configuring

• to run a dev environment, run pnpm run dev.
• to make a release build of the frontend, run pnpm run build.

environment variables

the frontend has several build-time environment variables for configuring various features. to use them, you must specify them when building the frontend (or running a vite server for development).

name	example	description
WEB_HOST	cobalt.tools	domain on which the frontend will be running. used for meta tags and configuring plausible.
WEB_PLAUSIBLE_HOST	plausible.io*	enables plausible analytics with provided hostname as receiver backend.
WEB_DEFAULT_API	https://api.cobalt.tools/	changes url which is used for api requests by frontend clients.

* don’t use plausible.io as receiver backend unless you paid for their cloud service. use your own domain when hosting community edition of plausible. refer to their docs when needed.
