After installing the dependencies, you need to configure the core services.

Database Setup (Supabase)

Envault relies on Supabase for authentication and database storage.

Create a new project in the Supabase Dashboard.
Go to Project Settings > API and copy your:
- Project URL
- anon public key
- service_role secret key (keep this safe!)

Update your .env.local file:

NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL=your_project_url
NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=your_anon_key
SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY=your_service_key

Encryption Keys

Envault uses a master key to encrypt the database keys. This is critical for security.

Critical Security Warning

You must generate a strong random string for your ENCRYPTION_KEY. If you lose this key, all data encrypted with it will be irretrievable.

Generate a secure key (e.g., using openssl):

openssl rand -hex 32

Add this to your .env.local:

ENCRYPTION_KEY=your_generated_hex_key

Now you are ready to start the application.

npm run dev

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.
