Clerk and Docker?

[bikerduweb]

According to ticket #2937 , as docker don't support NEXT_PUBLIC_XXX env variables, clerk can't work in Docker.

But the ClerkProvider component do accept parameters, and allow to provide the publishableKey as a parameter. So it could allow to provide the publishable key from another ENV variable than the default one (for example CLERK_PUBLISHABLE_KEY)
Cf. https://clerk.com/docs/components/clerk-provider

return (
    <ClerkProvider
      appearance={updatedAppearance}
      localization={localization}
      publishableKey={process.env.CLERK_PUBLISHABLE_KEY}
      signUpUrl={!enableClerkSignUp ? '/login' : '/signup'} // Redirect sign-up to sign-in if disabled
    >
      {children}
      <UserUpdater />
    </ClerkProvider>
  );

Could be a solution to this problem and allow to use docker? Did anyone tried that solution?
I don't have enough knowledge of Lobechat internals, so I can't test/do PR for this, but maybe someone could/did test this?
Thanks for your help

Not support. We need another env NEXT_PUBLIC_ENABLE_CLERK_AUTH to check whether to use Clerk: https://github.com/lobehub/lobe-chat/blob/main/src/layout/AuthProvider/index.tsx#L9-L14

the NEXT_PUBLIC_ENABLE_CLERK_AUTH is used outside the React runtime. So the ClerkProvider's props is not enough.

Indeed ... But as it's then code from LobeChat, then it could be a test like

if (authEnv.NEXT_PUBLIC_ENABLE_CLERK_AUTH || if (authEnv.ENABLE_CLERK_AUTH) ) 

And we would use the ENABLE_CLERK_AUTH variable...

I am really not sure why running clerk in docker is such a problem for Lobechat ...
But maybe nobody needs it so nobody look at solve this? I totally understand if that's the reason why the doc say "no clerk with docker " :-)

Thank you for listening

If you want to use Clerk, you need to build the Docker image yourself. It works great, but the image needs to be rebuilt every time there's an update, which is a bit troublesome.
