UPLOADTHING_TOKEN="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"

# openai api base url
OPENAI_API_BASE_URL="https://api.openai.com/v1"

# open ai api key cookie name and verification secret (generated by `openssl rand -hex 32`)
OPENAI_API_KEY_COOKIE_NAME="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
VERIFICATION_SECRET="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"

```

### 5. Disable Telemetry (Optional)

```bash
DO_NOT_TRACK="1"
CLERK_TELEMETRY_DISABLED="1"
CLERK_TELEMETRY_DEBUG="1"
NEXT_TELEMETRY_DISABLED="1"
```

- These disable analytics/telemetry from Clerk and Next.js. Keep them as provided.

---

### 6. App Base URL

```bash
NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_BASE_URL="http://localhost:3000"
```

- Keep as `http://localhost:3000` during development.
- Change to your deployed URL (e.g., `https://yourdomain.com`) in production.

---

### 7. Clerk (Authentication)

- Go to [Clerk Dashboard](https://dashboard.clerk.com/).
- Create a new application.
- Navigate to **API Keys**:
  - Copy **Publishable Key** → `NEXT_PUBLIC_CLERK_PUBLISHABLE_KEY`
  - Copy **Secret Key** → `CLERK_SECRET_KEY`
- Set up a **Webhook** (under "Webhooks") pointing to:
  `https://<your-domain>/api/users/webhook` (this will be your server endpoint, can be tunneled via [ngrok](https://ngrok.com/)).
  Copy the generated secret → `CLERK_WEBHOOK_SECRET`
- Redirect URLs: Keep as provided unless you modify authentication routes.

---

### 8. Neon (PostgreSQL Database)

- Sign up at [Neon](https://neon.tech/).
- Create a new **PostgreSQL project**.
- Go to **Connection Details** and copy the **Connection String**.
- Replace `<username>`, `<password>`, and `<hostname>` with your Neon credentials.
- Append `?sslmode=require` at the end (needed for secure connections).

---

### 9. Upstash QStash (AI Workflows)

- In your [Upstash Dashboard](https://console.upstash.com/), create a **QStash project**.
- Copy the **QStash Token** → `QSTASH_TOKEN`.
- Configure your **Workflow URL** (this will be your server endpoint, can be tunneled via [ngrok](https://ngrok.com/)).
- Obtain the **Signing Keys** from the QStash dashboard:
  - Current Signing Key → `QSTASH_CURRENT_SIGNING_KEY`
  - Next Signing Key → `QSTASH_NEXT_SIGNING_KEY`

---

### 10. Mux (Video Uploads)

- Sign up at [Mux](https://mux.com/) and create a new project.
- In your **Dashboard → Settings → API Access Tokens**:
  - Create a new token with Videos (**Read & Write**) permissions.
  - Copy **Token ID** → `MUX_TOKEN_ID`
  - Copy **Token Secret** → `MUX_TOKEN_SECRET`
- Set up a **Webhook** in Mux (point to `https://<your-domain>/api/videos/webhook` (this will be your server endpoint, can be tunneled via [ngrok](https://ngrok.com/)).) and copy the **Webhook Signing Secret** → `MUX_WEBHOOK_SECRET`

---

### 11. UploadThing (File Uploads)

- Sign up at [UploadThing](https://uploadthing.com/).
- Create a new app.
- Copy the **App ID** → `UPLOADTHING_APP_ID`
- Copy the **API Token** → `UPLOADTHING_TOKEN`

---

### 12. OpenAI (AI Features)

- Store it in your cookies under the name specified by `OPENAI_API_KEY_COOKIE_NAME`.
- Generate both **verification secret** and **cookie name** (for cryptographic signing):

```bash
  openssl rand -hex 32
  ```

Copy the output → `VERIFICATION_SECRET` and `OPENAI_API_KEY_COOKIE_NAME` separately

---

### 13. Ngrok
  
- Download Ngrok: https://ngrok.com/download
- Sign up at [Ngrok](https://ngrok.com/) and copy your auth token from the dashboard.
- Authenticate ngrok locally:

```bash
ngrok config add-authtoken YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN
```

---

14. Install Project Dependencies using `npm install --legacy-peer-deps` or `yarn install --legacy-peer-deps` or `bun install --legacy-peer-deps`.

15. Now app is fully configured 👍 and you can start using this app using either one of `npm run dev` or `yarn dev` or `bun dev`.

**NOTE:** Please make sure to keep your API keys and configuration values secure and do not expose them publicly.
