Configuration

Ever Gauzy is configured through environment variables defined in .env files. This guide documents all available configuration options.

Configuration Files

File	Purpose	Committed to Git?
`.env.sample`	Template with all available variables and documentation	✅ Yes
`.env`	Your local overrides (create by copying `.env.sample`)	❌ No (gitignored)
`.env.local`	Local development defaults (used by `yarn start`)	✅ Yes
`.env.compose`	Docker Compose production settings	✅ Yes
`.env.demo.compose`	Docker Compose demo settings	✅ Yes
`.env.docker`	Docker build settings	✅ Yes

warning

Never put secret keys, passwords, or API credentials in files that are committed to Git. Only .env (gitignored) should contain secrets.

How Configuration Works

Backend (NestJS): Reads .env directly via dotenv
Frontend (Angular): Environment files (environment.ts / environment.prod.ts) are auto-generated from .env by the .scripts/configure.ts script on first run
Desktop Apps: Read environment variables and also support GUI-based configuration via Setup Wizard

note

Never edit auto-generated environment.ts files directly. Always modify .env files instead.

Database Configuration

ORM Selection

DB_ORM=typeorm          # Options: typeorm | mikro-orm

Database Type

DB_TYPE=better-sqlite3  # Options: sqlite | better-sqlite3 | postgres | mysql

Connection Parameters

DB_HOST=localhost       # Database host
DB_PORT=5432            # Default: 5432 (PostgreSQL), 3306 (MySQL)
DB_NAME=gauzy           # Database name

DB_PASS=root            # Database password

Advanced Database Settings

DB_LOGGING=all                  # Query logging level
DB_POOL_SIZE=40                 # Connection pool size (TypeORM/MikroORM)

Redis

tip

Redis is required for distributed caching in production, Jitsu integration, and MCP Server session management. Without Redis, Gauzy falls back to in-memory caching.
