How an environment is organized

How a StoreFrame environment is organized on disk — the project directory, the configuration file, and the container layout.

This section covers how a single StoreFrame environment is laid out — the files you can read or edit over SSH, and the configuration file that drives provisioning.

What's covered

Environment file (.env) — The configuration file at the root of every environment. It is the source of truth for container versions, database connection parameters, nginx tunables, and similar settings. Most customers never touch it directly; the Hub UI changes it for you. Advanced users can edit it over SSH.

Project directory — The directory layout under /var/www/<subdomain>.<domain>/, and what survives a container restart.

What is not covered

How StoreFrame runs its own platform is not documented here. If you need information about platform behavior beyond your own environment, file a support ticket.
