Setup Environment
How to set up your environment to use the server.
Please set some basic details of the server in the .env file. You can find the .env.example file in the root directory of the project.
Warning
Securing file-system access of the host is important. Please make sure that your custom certificate files,.env, .env.idp files etc. are not accessible to unauthorized users.You should also ensure unauthorized persons do not have access to the docker containers. Ensuring the host server is secured, is your responsibility.
Configuration
cp .env.example .env && nano .env

## USE CUSTOM HTTPS CERTIFICATE FOR CDM-SERVER (PRIVATE-KEY)

# You need to place the custom certificate in the same directory as your `docker-compose.yml` file (where you have downloaded CDM-Server).
# The certificate file name must be `cdm-server.pfx`
# For a false value, a self-signed certificate will be created and used for HTTPS.
# Please check [help docs for more information](https://get.apis.de/docs/server/https/).
# Default is false
USE_CUSTOM_CERT=false
### CUSTOM CERTIFICATE PASSWORD
# If you are using a custom certificate (`USE_CUSTOM_CERT=true`) and your certificate is password-protected, set the password here.
# Otherwise, leave it empty.

It is recommended that you do not allow other users in same server system to read the DotEnv files as some of them can contain credentials.
You can try chmod 600 on all of them.
