Security

Critical security requirements
  • JWT secret — must be a randomly generated value of 32+ characters. The default ships unsafe and must be replaced.
  • TLS — always enable TLS for production deployments.
  • MongoDB — use strong passwords and enable authentication.
  • Network policies — restrict pod-to-pod communication using Kubernetes NetworkPolicies.

Generate a secure JWT secret​

# 32-byte secret, base64 encoded
openssl rand -base64 32

# Or, using /dev/urandom
cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9' | fold -w 32 | head -n 1
