Setup

First time installing?

Follow the Docker Compose installation guide to get qmBase running, then return here for configuration.

This document describes how to set up qmBase in a self-hosted environment. It covers Docker Compose installation. Here we describe the Environment Variables that need to be defined in the .env.example file.

Most variables are explained in the .env.example file. The following table lists the most important variables and their default values.

Variable	Description	Default Value	Who provides it?
MSSQL_SA_PASSWORD	Password to MS SQL Server	YourStrongPassword123!	Created by customer
ENCRYPTION_KEY	Encryption key for securing sensitive data	random_string	Created by customer

Variables that are marked as # Do not change should not be modified unless you know what you are doing. Changing these variables may break your installation.
