# Backend

## Env Configuration
|
|
|
|
To configure your backend application, you need to create an `.env` file in the videoflix folder of your project. This file contains various environment-specific settings, including email, security, and monitoring configuration.
|
|
|
|
### Step 1: Create the `.env` file
|
|
|
|
Create a file named `.env` inside the videoflix folder of your project:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
/your-project-root/
|
|
└── videoflix/
|
|
├── .env_example
|
|
└── .env ← create this file
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also simply rename or copy the existing `.env_example` file:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cp videoflix/.env_example videoflix/.env
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then open `videoflix/.env` and adjust the values according to your environment.
|
|
|
|
### Step 2: Add the required configuration
|
|
|
|
Open the `.env` file and include the following lines according to your needs:
|
|
|
|
```env
|
|
# General settings
|
|
DEBUG=False
|
|
SECRET_KEY=your_secret_key_here
|
|
|
|
# Email settings
|
|
EMAIL_HOST_USER=your_email_user
|
|
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD=your_email_password
|
|
|
|
# Sentry settings
|
|
SENTRY_DSN=your_sentry_dsn
|
|
```
