All self-hosted installations need a minimum set of environment variables to get started, and have additional (optional) configuration for further customization.
Below is a template .env file with a list of available configuration and default values. Depending on your installation type you may need to mantain this file in different locations (locally for Docker Compose installations, S3 or Secrets Manager for AWS deployments, or other configuration/secret administration tools.
###################################
# Required: Initial Tenant Configuration #
#
# Note: the values in this section will only be read on the first deployment of
# the Tines instance. If you need to change these values after the first run, you will
# need to update the app or database directly. All other values in this file will be
# picked up by the Tines app on every deployment or server restart.
###################################
# A human friendly identifier for this instance of Tines, e.g., "your-company-name":
TENANT_NAME=
# This is the domain where your Tines instance will be accessible:
DOMAIN=
# This will be the first user to be created and get invited to this Tines instance:
SEED_EMAIL=
SEED_FIRST_NAME=
SEED_LAST_NAME=
# If SEED_EMAIL_PASSWORD is set, this will bypass the email invite process for the first user and allow
# the SEED_EMAIL to login without SMTP configured using SEED_EMAIL:SEED_EMAIL_PASSWORD
# SEED_EMAIL_PASSWORD is *superceded* by either of the following 2 conditions:
# 1. If SMTP is configured correctly
# 2. If SSO is configured
SEED_EMAIL_PASSWORD=
# This address will be the default sender for all emails from this Tines instance:
# This can be configured on initial setup and changed subsequently at /admin/configuration
EMAIL_FROM_ADDRESS="Example Support <support@example.com>"
#############################
# Required: Server Configuration #
#############################
# Company name and stack name (eg. tines_prod). This is used to identify your tenant's telemetry data,
# if you have enabled that feature.
TELEMETRY_ID=
# This should match the port that you use to access the Tines UI.
# Unless you have chosen a custom port, you should use 443 as typical for HTTPS.
PORT=443
# This should be set to a random 128 character string to ensure security for your installation.
# Changing this value may force users to log in again.
# You can generate a value for this by running: `openssl rand -hex 64`
APP_SECRET_TOKEN=__SET_YOUR_SECRET_TOKEN__
#############################
# Required: Email Configuration #
#############################
# Outgoing email settings. This must be configured correctly in order for the invite email

# To use Gmail or Google Apps, put your Google Apps domain or gmail.com
# as the SMTP_DOMAIN and your Gmail username and password as the SMTP_USER_NAME and SMTP_PASSWORD.
#
# If you have trouble with port 587 on Gmail, you can also try setting
# SMTP_AUTHENTICATION to login and the SMTP_PORT to 465.
