Configuration

Pricore is configured through environment variables in your .env file.

Essential Configuration

Application Settings

APP_NAME=Pricore
APP_ENV=production
APP_DEBUG=false
APP_URL=https://pricore.yourcompany.com

Variable	Description	Default
APP_NAME	Application name displayed in UI	Pricore
APP_ENV	Environment (local, production)	production
APP_DEBUG	Enable debug mode (disable in production)	false
APP_URL	Public URL of your Pricore instance. When set to an https:// URL, all generated URLs are forced to HTTPS — important when running behind a reverse proxy that terminates SSL.	-

Registration

SIGN_UP_ENABLED=false

Variable	Description	Default
SIGN_UP_ENABLED	Allow public registration without an invitation	false

By default, registration is invite-only. Users can only create accounts after receiving an organization invitation. Set SIGN_UP_ENABLED=true to allow anyone to register.

Database Configuration

Pricore supports SQLite, MySQL, and PostgreSQL:

SQLite

DB_CONNECTION=sqlite
DB_DATABASE=/path/to/database.sqlite

MySQL

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=pricore
DB_USERNAME=pricore
DB_PASSWORD=secret

PostgreSQL

DB_CONNECTION=pgsql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=5432
DB_DATABASE=pricore
DB_USERNAME=pricore
DB_PASSWORD=secret

Redis Configuration

Redis is required for queues, caching, and sessions:

REDIS_HOST=127.0.0.1
REDIS_PORT=6379
REDIS_PASSWORD=null

QUEUE_CONNECTION=redis
CACHE_STORE=redis
SESSION_DRIVER=redis

Realtime Updates (Reverb)

Pricore uses Laravel Reverb as a WebSocket server to push realtime sync status updates to the browser. When a repository sync starts, completes, or fails, all connected users see the status change immediately.

BROADCAST_CONNECTION=reverb

REVERB_APP_ID=your-app-id
REVERB_APP_KEY=your-app-key
REVERB_APP_SECRET=your-app-secret
REVERB_HOST=localhost
REVERB_PORT=8080
REVERB_SCHEME=http

The Reverb config is automatically injected into the frontend at runtime via meta tags — no Vite build-time variables are needed.

The REVERB_* variables configure the server-side Reverb process (what it binds to). The REVERB_ECHO_* variables configure the client-side WebSocket connection (what the browser connects to). When deployed behind a reverse proxy or gateway that terminates TLS, these will differ — Reverb binds to an internal port (e.g., 8080 over HTTP), while the browser connects to the external port (e.g., 443 over HTTPS).

Variable	Description	Default
BROADCAST_CONNECTION	Broadcasting driver (reverb, log, null)	null
REVERB_APP_ID	Reverb application ID	-
REVERB_APP_KEY	Reverb application key	-
REVERB_APP_SECRET	Reverb application secret	-
REVERB_HOST	Reverb server hostname	localhost
REVERB_PORT	Reverb server port (internal)	8080
REVERB_SCHEME	Reverb connection scheme (internal)	http
REVERB_ECHO_HOST	Client-facing WebSocket hostname	window.location.hostname
REVERB_ECHO_PORT	Client-facing WebSocket port	443
REVERB_ECHO_SCHEME	Client-facing WebSocket scheme	https

Note: Realtime updates are optional. Without Reverb configured, the application works normally — pages update on navigation or manual refresh.

Git Provider Configuration

To sync packages from Git repositories, configure your provider credentials.

GitHub

GITHUB_CLIENT_ID=your-github-client-id
GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET=your-github-client-secret
GITHUB_REDIRECT_URI=${APP_URL}/auth/github/callback

Variable	Description	Default
GITHUB_CLIENT_ID	GitHub OAuth App client ID	-
GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET	GitHub OAuth App client secret	-
GITHUB_REDIRECT_URI	OAuth callback URL	{APP_URL}/auth/github/callback

Create a GitHub OAuth App:

1. Go to GitHub Settings > Developer settings > OAuth Apps
2. Click "New OAuth App"
3. Set the callback URL to {APP_URL}/auth/github/callback

GitLab

GITLAB_CLIENT_ID=your-gitlab-client-id
GITLAB_CLIENT_SECRET=your-gitlab-client-secret
GITLAB_REDIRECT_URI=${APP_URL}/auth/gitlab/callback
GITLAB_INSTANCE_URI=https://gitlab.com  # or your self-hosted GitLab URL

Variable	Description	Default
GITLAB_CLIENT_ID	GitLab OAuth Application ID	-
GITLAB_CLIENT_SECRET	GitLab OAuth Application secret	-
GITLAB_REDIRECT_URI	OAuth callback URL	{APP_URL}/auth/gitlab/callback
GITLAB_INSTANCE_URI	GitLab instance URL (for self-hosted)	https://gitlab.com

Create a GitLab OAuth Application:

GitLab.com:

1. Go to GitLab User Settings > Applications
2. Click "Add new application"
3. Set the Redirect URI to {APP_URL}/auth/gitlab/callback
4. Select scopes: read_user and api
   • read_user — used for login/sign-up (reading user profile and email)
   • api — used when connecting GitLab as a git credential (reading repositories, file content, and managing webhooks). GitLab does not offer a narrower scope for webhook management.
5. Click "Save application" and copy the Application ID and Secret

Self-hosted GitLab:

1. Go to your GitLab instance > User Settings > Applications
2. Follow the same steps as above
3. Set GITLAB_INSTANCE_URI to your instance URL (e.g., https://gitlab.example.com/)

Bitbucket

Bitbucket uses API token authentication instead of OAuth — no environment variables are needed. Credentials are configured per user in Settings > Git Providers.

1. Go to Atlassian Account Settings > API tokens
2. Click Create API token with scopes
3. Select Bitbucket as the app and enable the following scopes:
   • read:user:bitbucket
   • read:repository:bitbucket
   • read:workspace:bitbucket
   • read:webhook:bitbucket
   • write:webhook:bitbucket
4. In Pricore, go to Settings > Git Providers > Add Bitbucket
5. Enter your Atlassian account email and the API token

Registry Mirror Network Access

Registry mirrors may fetch public HTTP and HTTPS endpoints by default. Requests to private, loopback, link-local, multicast, unspecified, and reserved IP addresses are blocked, including destinations reached through metadata URLs, dist URLs, or redirects.

Self-hosted registries on private networks must be explicitly allowlisted:

MIRROR_ALLOWED_PRIVATE_HOSTS=satis.internal,10.20.30.40

Variable	Description	Default
MIRROR_ALLOWED_PRIVATE_HOSTS	Comma-separated exact hostnames or IP addresses that may be used as private mirror origins. Wildcards and CIDRs are not accepted.	'' (empty)

Private access applies only to same-origin requests from the configured mirror. Cross-origin metadata, dist, and redirect targets must still resolve entirely to public addresses. Mirror authentication credentials are never forwarded across origins.

Mirror requests do not use process-level HTTP proxy variables because direct connections are required to pin validated DNS results.

Storage Configuration

By default, Pricore stores package distribution files on the local filesystem. To use S3 or an S3-compatible storage provider (like MinIO, DigitalOcean Spaces, or Cloudflare R2), set the filesystem disk to s3:

FILESYSTEM_DISK=s3

AWS S3

If you only use AWS, configure the standard AWS_* variables:

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=your-access-key
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=your-secret-key
AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=us-east-1
AWS_BUCKET=your-bucket

S3-Compatible Storage

If you want to use an S3-compatible provider for storage while keeping the AWS_* variables for other AWS services, you can set S3_* variables that take precedence over their AWS_* counterparts:

# S3-compatible provider for filesystem storage
S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID=your-s3-compatible-key
S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=your-s3-compatible-secret
S3_DEFAULT_REGION=us-east-1
S3_BUCKET=your-bucket
S3_ENDPOINT=https://s3.example.com
S3_URL=https://your-bucket.s3.example.com
S3_USE_PATH_STYLE_ENDPOINT=true

# AWS credentials (used by other AWS services, and as fallback for S3)
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=your-aws-key
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=your-aws-secret
AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=us-east-1

Variable	Description	Fallback
S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID	Access key for S3-compatible storage	AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY	Secret key for S3-compatible storage	AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
S3_DEFAULT_REGION	Storage region	AWS_DEFAULT_REGION
S3_BUCKET	Bucket name	AWS_BUCKET
S3_URL	Custom URL for the storage service	AWS_URL
S3_ENDPOINT	Custom endpoint URL	AWS_ENDPOINT
S3_USE_PATH_STYLE_ENDPOINT	Use path-style endpoints (required by most S3-compatible providers)	AWS_USE_PATH_STYLE_ENDPOINT

If no S3_* variables are set, the configuration falls back to the AWS_* variables — so existing setups continue to work without changes.

Mail Configuration

Configure mail for password resets and notifications:

MAIL_MAILER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.mailgun.org
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=your-username
MAIL_PASSWORD=your-password
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=noreply@yourcompany.com
MAIL_FROM_NAME="${APP_NAME}"

Horizon (Queue Dashboard)

Pricore uses Laravel Horizon to manage queue workers. The following variables configure the Horizon dashboard:

HORIZON_ALLOWED_EMAILS=admin@yourcompany.com,ops@yourcompany.com
HORIZON_PATH=horizon

Variable	Description	Default
HORIZON_ALLOWED_EMAILS	Comma-separated list of emails allowed to access the Horizon dashboard (in non-local environments)	'' (empty)
HORIZON_NAME	Name displayed in the Horizon UI and notifications	-
HORIZON_DOMAIN	Subdomain to serve Horizon from (e.g., horizon.yourcompany.com)	null (same domain)
HORIZON_PATH	URI path for the Horizon dashboard	horizon
HORIZON_PREFIX	Redis key prefix for Horizon data	{app_name}_horizon:

Slack Notifications

To send notifications to Slack, configure a bot token:

SLACK_BOT_USER_OAUTH_TOKEN=xoxb-your-bot-token
SLACK_BOT_USER_DEFAULT_CHANNEL=#packages

Variable	Description	Default
SLACK_BOT_USER_OAUTH_TOKEN	Slack bot user OAuth token	-
SLACK_BOT_USER_DEFAULT_CHANNEL	Default Slack channel for notifications	-

Error Tracking (Sentry)

Pricore supports Sentry for error tracking and performance monitoring:

SENTRY_LARAVEL_DSN=https://examplePublicKey@o0.ingest.sentry.io/0
SENTRY_ENVIRONMENT=production
SENTRY_TRACES_SAMPLE_RATE=0.2

Variable	Description	Default
SENTRY_LARAVEL_DSN	Sentry DSN URL (falls back to SENTRY_DSN)	-
SENTRY_RELEASE	Release version tag sent to Sentry	-
SENTRY_ENVIRONMENT	Environment name in Sentry	APP_ENV value
SENTRY_SAMPLE_RATE	Error event sample rate (0.0 to 1.0)	1.0
SENTRY_TRACES_SAMPLE_RATE	Performance traces sample rate (0.0 to 1.0)	null (disabled)
SENTRY_PROFILES_SAMPLE_RATE	Profiling sample rate (0.0 to 1.0)	null (disabled)
SENTRY_ENABLE_LOGS	Send logs to Sentry	false
SENTRY_LOG_LEVEL	Minimum log level sent to Sentry	debug
SENTRY_SEND_DEFAULT_PII	Include personally identifiable information	false

Security Settings

Trusted Proxies

When running behind a load balancer or reverse proxy, configure trusted proxies:

TRUSTED_PROXIES=192.168.1.0/24,10.0.0.0/8

Variable	Description	Default
TRUSTED_PROXIES	Comma-separated list of trusted proxy IP addresses or CIDR ranges. Use * to trust all proxies.	'' (empty)

Two-Factor Authentication

Two-factor authentication is enabled by default. Users can enable it in their account settings.

Session Security

SESSION_LIFETIME=120  # minutes
SESSION_SECURE_COOKIE=true  # require HTTPS

Performance Tuning

Queue Workers

For production, use Laravel Horizon to manage queue workers:

# Horizon is included and configured by default
php artisan horizon

Caching

Enable config and route caching for production:

php artisan config:cache
php artisan route:cache
php artisan view:cache
