Run Commands & Environment Variables

The basic command to run Kometa is as follows:

=== "Windows / Mac / Linux"

``` py
python kometa.py
```

=== "Docker"

``` py
docker run --rm -it -v "/<ROOT_KOMETA_DIRECTORY_HERE>/config:/config:rw" kometateam/kometa
```

To customize the running of Kometa according to your needs, you can use either run commands or environmental variables. Environmental variables take precedence over run command attributes. However, if you encounter a race condition where an attribute has been set both via an environmental variable and a shell command, the environmental variable will be given priority.

Please note that these instructions assume that you have a basic understanding of Docker concepts. If you need to familiarize yourself with Docker, you can check out the official tutorial.

Another way to specify environmental variables is by adding them to a .env file located in your config folder.

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. The examples below show how you would specify the environment variable in a script or a docker run command. Things like Portainer or a NAS Docker UI will have different ways to specify these things.

???+ warning "Combining Commands or Variables"

Some Commands or Variables can be combined in a single run, this is mainly beneficial when you want to run a specific command and have it run immediately rather than waiting until the next scheduled run.

For example, if I want to run [Collections Only](#collections-only) to only run Collection Files, and [Run Immediately](#run) to skip waiting until my next scheduled run, I can use both commands at the same time:

!!! example
    === "Local Environment"
        ```
        python kometa.py --collections-only --run
        ```
    === "Docker Environment"
        ```
        docker run -it -v "X:\Media\Kometa\config:/config:rw" kometateam/kometa --collections-only --run
        ```

??? blank "Config Location -c/--config KOMETA_CONFIG¶"

        ```
    === "Docker Environment"
        ```

???+ warning

    To preserve functionality of Kometa, this will **not** remove the Overlay label, which is required for Kometa to know

    This will impact any [Smart Label Collections](../files/builders/smart.md#smart-label) that you have in your 
    library.

    We do not recommend using this on a regular basis if you also use any operations or collections that update 
    labels, as you are effectively deleting and adding labels on each run.
