Setting server variables for a site in homestead.yaml
I hope I can set server variables for specific sites, in this case the URL used for acceptance testing with Behat.
I can set this manually in nginx, for example:
fastcgi_param APP_ENV "acceptance";
However, I would like to know if there is a way to define this in homestead.yaml, so I don't need to add this line every time I provide, or if a colleague needs to configure it on their machine.
I would like to do something like:
sites:
- map: www.mysite.com
to: /home/vagrant/e247/nimble-admin/public
- map: www.mysite.test
to: /home/vagrant/e247/nimble-admin/public
variables:
- key: APP_ENV
value: acceptance
variables:
- key: APP_ENV
value: local

You can do exactly that and exactly the way you did it.
From this page: https://scotch.io/tutorials/getting-started-with-laravel-homestead#creating-environment-variables
At the bottom of your Homestead.yaml file, just add something like this:
variables:
- key: APP_DEBUG
value: true
Remember to remove or comment out the values from your .env file if you defined them there, as this will overwrite what you defined in your homestead.yaml
To use this value:
$app_env = getenv('APP_DEBUG'); // returns "true"
