70# Jetstream Configuration (Read-Forward User Indexing)
71# =============================================================================
72# Jetstream WebSocket URL for real-time atProto events
73#
74# Production: Use Bluesky's public Jetstream (indexes entire network)
75# JETSTREAM_URL=wss://jetstream2.us-east.bsky.network/subscribe?wantedCollections=app.bsky.actor.profile
76#
77# Local E2E Testing: Use local Jetstream (indexes only local PDS)
78# 1. Start local Jetstream: docker-compose --profile jetstream up pds jetstream
79# 2. Use this URL:
80JETSTREAM_URL=ws://localhost:6008/subscribe
81
82# Optional: Filter events to specific PDS
83# JETSTREAM_PDS_FILTER=http://localhost:3001

85# =============================================================================
86# Identity Resolution Configuration
87# =============================================================================
88# IMPORTANT: In dev mode (IS_DEV_ENV=true), identity resolution automatically
89# uses PLC_DIRECTORY_URL to ensure E2E tests stay local. In production, you
90# can optionally set IDENTITY_PLC_URL to use a different URL for read operations.
91#
92# For local dev: Leave IDENTITY_PLC_URL unset (uses PLC_DIRECTORY_URL)
93# For production: Optionally set IDENTITY_PLC_URL=https://plc.directory
94
95# Cache TTL for resolved identities (Go duration format: 24h, 1h30m, etc.)
96IDENTITY_CACHE_TTL=24h

98# =============================================================================
99# OAuth Configuration
100# =============================================================================
101# OAuth client private key (ES256 keypair - generate with: go run cmd/genjwks/main.go)
102# DO NOT commit this to version control in production!
103#
104# Supports two formats:
105# 1. Plain JSON (easier for local development):
106# OAUTH_PRIVATE_JWK={"alg":"ES256","crv":"P-256",...}
107#
108# 2. Base64 encoded (recommended for production to avoid shell escaping):
109# OAUTH_PRIVATE_JWK=base64:eyJhbGciOiJFUzI1NiIsImNydiI6IlAtMjU2Ii...
110# Generate with: echo '{"alg":...}' | base64 -w 0
111#

114# Cookie secret for session encryption (generate with: openssl rand -hex 32)
115# Also supports base64: prefix for consistency
116OAUTH_COOKIE_SECRET=f1132c01b1a625a865c6c455a75ee793572cedb059cebe0c4c1ae4c446598f7d

118# AppView public URL (used for OAuth callback and client metadata)
119# Dev: http://127.0.0.1:8081 (use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost per RFC 8252)

180# Notes
181# =============================================================================
182# All local development configuration in one file!
183# - Dev PostgreSQL: port 5435
184# - Test PostgreSQL: port 5434 (via --profile test)
185# - PDS: port 3001 (avoids conflict with production on :3000)
186# - AppView: port 8081
187# - PDS is self-contained (SQLite + CAR files)
188# - PostgreSQL is only for Coves AppView indexing
189# - AppView subscribes directly to PDS firehose (no relay needed)
190# - PDS firehose: ws://localhost:3001/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.subscribeRepos
