FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Securing the .env File
The .env file contains sensitive information such as database credentials, API keys, and other confidential data. It is important to secure the file and restrict access to prevent unauthorized
exposure of this information. Here are some guidelines to consider:
-
File Placement: Place the
.envfile outside the public web directory or in a directory that is not directly accessible by the web server. This prevents direct access to the file via URL. -
File Permissions: Set appropriate file permissions to ensure that only authorized users or processes can read the
.envfile. Restricting access to the file prevents unauthorized users from viewing its contents. -
Gitignore: Add the
.envfile to your project's.gitignorefile. This ensures that the file is not included in version control systems, preventing accidental exposure of sensitive information in your code repository. -
Environment-specific Files: Consider using separate
.envfiles for different environments (e.g., development, staging, production). This allows you to specify environment-specific configurations and reduces the risk of exposing sensitive credentials in non-production environments. - Encryption or Encoding: If required, you can encrypt or encode sensitive values within the
.envfile. This adds an extra layer of protection, and the values can be decrypted or decoded at runtime when they are needed.
Remember, the security of your application depends on properly safeguarding the sensitive information stored in the .env file. Regularly review and update the file, and ensure that access to it is
limited to authorized individuals or processes.
Note: It is important to consult with a security professional and follow security best practices to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of your application's sensitive data.
