Environment Variables

PutmeIn reads runtime variables across Ray (web console) and Brain (AI orchestration daemon).

Core Variables

Variable	Default	Description	Required
`DATABASE_URL`	—	Connection string for MySQL / MariaDB (e.g. `mysql://user:pass@host:3306/db`).	Yes
`JWT_SECRET`	auto-fallback	Secret key for signing and verifying user authentication sessions.	Recommended
`RAY_PORT`	`4567`	Port used by the Ray web console in daemon mode (`3000` in dev).	Optional
`BRAIN_PORT`	`4500`	Port used by the Brain AI engine API (`3100` in dev).	Optional
`BRAIN_INTERNAL_SECRET`	auto-generated	Cryptographic token for secure Ray ↔ Brain inter-service RPC.	Optional
`AGENT_AUTONOMOUS`	`false`	Enable or disable autonomous DevOps action mode.	Optional

For MySQL 8.0+ databases, PutmeIn supports standard URI schemas:

DATABASE_URL="mysql://root:[email protected]:3306/putmein?allowPublicKeyRetrieval=true"

Connection Resilience

When connecting to MySQL instances where the public key retrieval handshake is required, append ?allowPublicKeyRetrieval=true to the URL.
