sample-env

The Strapi CLI generates an .env and an .env.example file when creating a new project. The files contain automatically-generated security keys and database settings similar to the following:

.env.example

.env.example

HOST=0.0.0.0
PORT=1337
APP_KEYS="toBeModified1,toBeModified2"
API_TOKEN_SALT=tobemodified
ADMIN_JWT_SECRET=tobemodified
TRANSFER_TOKEN_SALT=tobemodified
JWT_SECRET=tobemodified
ENCRYPTION_KEY=tobemodified

.env

The variables might differ depending on options selected on project creation.
