# Configuration Reference
TOD uses Pydantic Settings for configuration. All values can be set via environment variables or an env file. In Docker Compose deployments, environment variables are loaded from `.env.prod` in the project root via `--env-file`. For local development without Docker, the backend also reads `backend/.env`.
## Environment Variables
### Application
| Variable | Default | Description |
|----------|---------|-------------|
| `APP_NAME` | `TOD - The Other Dude` | Application display name |
| `APP_VERSION` | `9.7.0` | Semantic version string (see VERSION file at project root) |

| `FIRST_ADMIN_PASSWORD` | *(none)* | Password for the initial super_admin user. On first login, you will be guided through a one-time security enrollment to set up zero-knowledge credentials. |
## Production Safety
TOD refuses to start in `staging` or `production` environments if any of these variables still have their insecure dev defaults:
- `JWT_SECRET_KEY`
- `CREDENTIAL_ENCRYPTION_KEY`
- `OPENBAO_TOKEN`
The process exits with code 1 and a clear error message indicating which variable needs to be rotated.
## Docker Compose Profiles
| Profile | Command | Services |
|---------|---------|----------|
| *(default)* | `docker compose up -d` | Infrastructure only: PostgreSQL, Redis, NATS, OpenBao |
| `full` | `docker compose --profile full up -d` | All services: infrastructure + API, Poller, Frontend |
## Container Memory Limits
All containers have enforced memory limits to prevent OOM on the host:
| Service | Memory Limit |
|---------|-------------|
| PostgreSQL | 512 MB |
| Redis | 128 MB |
| NATS | 256 MB |
| API | 512 MB |
| Poller | 256 MB |
| Frontend | 64 MB |
Build Docker images sequentially (not in parallel) to avoid OOM during builds.
