Encryption Key Configuration

Before using ConfigFern, you need to set up the encryption key in your environment. This key is essential for encrypting and decrypting sensitive configuration values.

Linux/macOS

export CONFIG_ENCRYPTION_KEY="your-secure-key-here"

Windows (PowerShell)

$env:CONFIG_ENCRYPTION_KEY="your-secure-key-here"

Important Notes

• Keep your encryption key secure and never commit it to version control
• Use a strong, unique key for each environment
• Consider using a secure key management service in production environments
• Make sure all team members working with encrypted configurations have access to the key
