What is the environment variable for JWT secret ? #48
Description
Hello @Cod-e-Codes
I wanted to know what the environment variable is for the JWT secret, if it exists.
I see in the web admin panel :
I think this is the default one.
How to change it ?

Hey @ludetie
The environment variable for the JWT secret is:
MARCHAT_JWT_SECRETIf not set, marchat uses the default value
marchat-default-secret-change-in-production.To set it before starting the server:
export MARCHAT_JWT_SECRET="$(openssl rand -base64 32)"After restarting the server, the admin panel and admin web UI should display the masked secret.
Side note: the metrics tab is broken in the latest release, but building from source or waiting for the next release will fix it.
