Which unsupported characters exist for the dotenv file?

I'm trying to store a Facebook API Access-Token in Fortrabbit's environment variables. (.env and app secret)

But I get the message:

Unsupported characters or malformed nested ENV vars.

I think the problem might be, that my token contains a | character.

  • Is there a list of unsupported characters?
  • Is there a way to escape this character?

Thanks

  • Is there a list of unsupported characters?

    Here is the regex for the validation:

    /^[\p{L}\p{N}\ _\-\+=\.,:;\?!@~%&\*\(\)\[\]\{\}<>\/\\#]+$/u

    Is there a way to escape this character?

    We recommend to base64 encode the value and decode it before usage.
