Github deploy /w Nixpack env not showing
I have a nodejs project that I have setup with Dokploy via GH to deploy. At runtime it crashes because of missing env vars. When I do printenv in the terminal, I don't see my variables that I have set it in the Environment UI tab. I dont have a docker-compse.yml in my repo. What am I doing wrong?

what application you trying to deploy?
An express server
are you using github and nixpacks?
Yep
can you share how are you reading the envs in your express app
something like:
process.env.SECRET_KEYYeah but I mean are you using dotenv or some library to read?
Yeah, on some files I do this:
import { config } from 'dotenv'; config();
Some I dont, do I need to do it on all then?can you share your package json?
well I think you need to do only in the entrypoint file like main.ts
