# Database Configuration
# DB HOST - The hostname of the database server, typically 'localhost' for local development
# DB USERNAME - The username used to connect to the database
# DB PASSWORD - The password used to connect to the database
# DB DATABASE - The name of the database to be used

DB_HOST=localhost
DB_USERNAME=username
DB_PASSWORD=password
DB_DATABASE=myvivarium

# SMTP (Email) Configuration
# SMTP HOST - The SMTP server address used for sending emails
# SMTP PORT - The port number used by the SMTP server (587 is typically used for TLS)
# SMTP USERNAME - The username used to authenticate with the SMTP server
# SMTP PASSWORD - The password used to authenticate with the SMTP server
# SMTP ENCRYPTION - The encryption method used by the SMTP server (e.g., 'tls' or 'ssl')
# SENDER EMAIL - The email address used as the sender for outgoing emails
# SENDER NAME - The name displayed as the sender for outgoing emails

SMTP_HOST=smtp.example.com
SMTP_PORT=587
SMTP_USERNAME=username
SMTP_PASSWORD=password
SMTP_ENCRYPTION=tls
SENDER_EMAIL=sender@example.com
SENDER_NAME=MyVivarium

# Optional Configuration
# AI_SETTINGS_ENCRYPTION_KEY - 64 hex chars (32 bytes) used to encrypt stored
#   AI-provider and SMTP secrets (AES-256-CBC). Generate one with:
#     php -r "echo bin2hex(random_bytes(32)), PHP_EOL;"
#   If left blank, a key is auto-generated and written here the first time an
#   admin opens the AI Configuration page. Set a stable value before saving any
#   provider keys or SMTP credentials, or you won't be able to decrypt them later.
# SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE - set to false only for local HTTP development so session
#   cookies are not restricted to HTTPS (defaults to true).

AI_SETTINGS_ENCRYPTION_KEY=
SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE=true
