🔧 XMRT-Ecosystem Render Environment Setup Guide

🚨 CRITICAL: Missing Environment Variables Fix

Your XMRT-Ecosystem service is currently failing because of missing environment variables.

❌ Current Issue: Service Not Starting

  • Status: 502 Bad Gateway / Timeout
  • Cause: Missing environment variables cause startup failures
  • Solution: Add the missing variables below

📋 Required Environment Variables

✅ Currently Set (Confirmed in Dashboard):

FLASK_APP=app.py
FLASK_ENV=production  
GITHUB_TOKEN=[SECURED]
GITHUB_USERNAME=[SECURED]
SECRET_KEY=[SECURED]

❌ MISSING - Add These Immediately:

PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1
WEB_CONCURRENCY=1

🔧 How to Add Missing Environment Variables

Option 1: Via Render Dashboard (Recommended)

  1. Go to: https://dashboard.render.com/web/srv-d3ka98juibrs73f4uuq0/env
  2. Click: The empty KEY field at the bottom
  3. Add Variable 1:
    • KEY: PYTHONUNBUFFERED
    • VALUE: 1
  4. Add Variable 2:
    • KEY: WEB_CONCURRENCY
    • VALUE: 1
  5. Save: The changes will trigger automatic redeploy

Option 2: Via render.yaml (Already in Repository)

The render.yaml file has been updated with these variables, but dashboard override may be needed.

🚀 Expected Results After Fix

Before Fix:

  • ❌ 502 Bad Gateway Error
  • ❌ Service timeouts
  • ❌ Application won't start

After Fix:

  • ✅ Service responds normally
  • ✅ Health check endpoint works: /health
  • ✅ API status endpoint works: /api/status
  • ✅ Main application loads: /

📊 Service Details

🔍 Verification Steps

After adding environment variables:

  1. Wait 2-3 minutes for automatic redeploy
  2. Check deployment logs in Render dashboard
  3. Test endpoints: 
    curl https://xmrt-ecosystem-1-rup6.onrender.com/health
  4. Monitor service status in dashboard

🛠️ If Still Not Working

If service still fails after adding environment variables:

  1. Check Build Logs - Look for dependency installation errors
  2. Memory Issues - Free tier has 512MB limit, your app has many ML dependencies
  3. Upgrade Plan - Consider upgrading to paid plan for more resources
  4. Use Minimal Requirements - Switch to requirements-minimal.txt for lighter deployment
