Deployment Backends

Rilo supports:

• local backend (default)
• firebase backend (Firestore + Cloud Storage)

Core backend env vars:

RILO_OUTPUT_BACKEND=local
RILO_FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID=
RILO_FIREBASE_STORAGE_BUCKET=
RILO_FIREBASE_CLIENT_EMAIL=
RILO_FIREBASE_PRIVATE_KEY=

Local backend

Use RILO_OUTPUT_BACKEND=local for filesystem-only development. Artifacts and state are stored under project directories.

Firebase backend

Use RILO_OUTPUT_BACKEND=firebase to mirror project state to Firestore and assets to Cloud Storage.

Recommended setup:

1. Create a service account with Firestore + Storage access.
2. Provide project ID, bucket, client email, and private key env vars.
3. Verify bucket permissions for upload/read operations.

If Firebase credentials are missing or invalid, writes and sync operations fail.

See Environment Variables for full runtime config.
