# Run Commands & Environment Variables This table outlines the run commands and environment variables that can be utilized to customize the running of Plex Meta Manager to the user's requirements. Environment Variable values are used over Shell Command values. If you run into a race condition where you have set an Environment Variable within your system and also use a Shell Command for the same attribute, then the Environment Variable will take priority. These docs are assuming you have a basic understanding of Docker concepts. One place to get familiar with Docker would be the [official tutorial](https://www.docker.com/101-tutorial/). | Attribute | Shell Command | Environment Variable | |:------------------------------------------------------|:----------------------------------------------|:-------------------------| | [Config](#config) | `-c` or `--config` | `PMM_CONFIG` | | [Time to Run](#time-to-run) | `-t` or `--time` | `PMM_TIME` | | [Run Immediately](#run-immediately) | `-r` or `--run` | `PMM_RUN` | | [Run Tests](#run-tests) | `-rt`, `--tests`, or `--run-tests` | `PMM_TEST` | | [Debug](#debug) | `-db` or `--debug` | `PMM_DEBUG` | | [Trace](#trace) | `-tr` or `--trace` | `PMM_TRACE` | | [Timeout](#timeout) | `-ti` or `--timeout` | `PMM_TIMEOUT` | | [Collections Only](#collections-only) | `-co` or `--collections-only` | `PMM_COLLECTIONS_ONLY` | | [Playlists Only](#playlists-only) | `-po` or `--playlists-only` | `PMM_PLAYLISTS_ONLY` | | [Operations Only](#operations-only) | `-op`, `--operations`, or `--operations-only` | `PMM_OPERATIONS` | | [Overlays Only](#overlays-only) | `-ov`, `--overlays`, or `--overlays-only` | `PMM_OVERLAYS` | | [Run Collections](#run-collections) | `-rc` or `--run-collections` | `PMM_COLLECTIONS` | | [Run Libraries](#run-libraries) | `-rl` or `--run-libraries` | `PMM_LIBRARIES` | | [Run Metadata Files](#run-metadata-files) | `-rm` or `--run-metadata-files` | `PMM_METADATA_FILES` | | [Libraries First](#libraries-first) | `-lf` or `--libraries-first` | `PMM_LIBRARIES_FIRST` | | [Ignore Schedules](#ignore-schedules) | `-is` or `--ignore-schedules` | `PMM_IGNORE_SCHEDULES` | | [Ignore Ghost](#ignore-ghost) | `-ig` or `--ignore-ghost` | `PMM_IGNORE_GHOST` | | [Cache Libraries](#cache-libraries) | `-ca` or `--cache-libraries` | `PMM_CACHE_LIBRARIES` | | [Delete Collections](#delete-collections) | `-dc` or `--delete-collections` | `PMM_DELETE_COLLECTIONS` | | [Delete Labels](#delete-labels) | `-dl` or `--delete-labels` | `PMM_DELETE_LABELS` | | [Resume Run](#resume-run) | `-re` or `--resume` | `PMM_RESUME` | | [No Countdown](#no-countdown) | `-nc` or `--no-countdown` | `PMM_NO_COUNTDOWN` | | [No Missing](#no-missing) | `-nm` or `--no-missing` | `PMM_NO_MISSING` | | [No Report](#no-report) | `-nr` or `--no-report` | `PMM_NO_REPORT` | | [Read Only Config](#read-only-config) | `-ro` or `--read-only-config` | `PMM_READ_ONLY_CONFIG` | | [ENV Plex URL](#env-plex-url--token) | `-pu` or `--plex-url` | `PMM_PLEX_URL` | | [ENV Plex Token](#env-plex-url--token) | `-pt` or `--plex-token` | `PMM_PLEX_TOKEN` | | [Divider Character](#divider-character--screen-width) | `-d` or `--divider` | `PMM_DIVIDER` | | [Screen Width](#divider-character--screen-width) | `-w` or `--width` | `PMM_WIDTH` | Further explanation and examples of each command can be found below. ## Run Command Attribute Examples Environment variables are expressed as `KEY=VALUE` Depending on the context where you are specifying them, you may enter those two things in two different fields, or some other way.
