+### .env configuration
+The .env file is used for server setup. A example one with the fields already there has been provided for your pleasure. Rename it to .env & fill in the fields.
+
+| Field Name | Type | Default Value | Description / Usage |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| `port` | `int` | `5000` | The port the API will listen on |
+| `db_url` | `str` | *Required* | Connection string for the database |
+| `fernet_key` | `str` | *Required* | Key used for DB encryption |
+| `cookie_httponly` | `bool` | `True` | Primarily for debugging, controls the flag in cookies |
+| `frontend_url` | `str` | *Required* | The URL where the frontend is hosted |
+| `boss_url` | `str` | *Required* | Endpoint URL for retrieving Boss |
+| `boss_aes_key` | `str` | *Required* | AES key for Boss |
+| `boss_hmac_key` | `str` | *Required* | HMAC key for Boss |
+| `cookie_secure` | `bool` | `True` | Primarily for debugging, controls the flag in cookies |
+
+For dumping your boss keys, see [this](https://github.com/PretendoNetwork/BetterKeyDumper/releases/tag/v1.0.0) HBL app. Note that the keys shown on the screen are garbage, I reccomend using a hex editor on the files it dumps.
