Local configuration

The project uses environment variables for credentials and runtime settings.

1. Copy .env.example to .env
2. Set secure values in .env
3. Start dependencies: docker compose --env-file .env up -d
4. Start app: mvn spring-boot:run

The Spring Boot app reads values from src/main/resources/application.properties using ${...} placeholders.

Local override file (without exporting env vars)

You can also use a local override file that is not committed:

1. Copy config/application-local.properties.example to config/application-local.properties
2. Set your local values in config/application-local.properties
3. Start app normally: mvn spring-boot:run

application.properties imports this file via: spring.config.import=optional:file:./config/application-local.properties
