Environment Variables

These environment variables control Recyclarr's behavior across all commands.

Looking for config substitution?

To substitute environment variable values into your YAML configuration files, see Value Substitution.

`RECYCLARR_APP_DATA`

Overrides the default application data directory location.

export RECYCLARR_APP_DATA="/custom/path/to/appdata"

This is equivalent to using the --app-data CLI option on every command. If both are set, the CLI option takes precedence.

Disables ANSI color output when set to any non-empty value.

export NO_COLOR=1

Useful for scripting, piping output to files, or terminals that don't support colors.

See no-color.org for more information about this standard convention.
