Examples

Load Key from a File

To load the key from a file created by gen_key.js, add these lines to the top of your configuration file, if not already present:

const fs = require("fs");
const path = require("path");

And then populate the setting like this:

"encryptionKey": fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, "ekey"))

Load Key from Other Sources

The encryption key can be loaded from other sources using custom JavaScript code in the configuration file. For example, code like this could be used to populate the key from a Base64-encoded environment variable named ENCRYPTION_KEY:

"encryptionKey": Buffer.from(process.env.ENCRYPTION_KEY, "base64")
