Configuration Overview

All configuration for the Infisical Linux package is managed through a single file called infisical.rb, located in the /etc/infisical directory. This file defines all necessary settings, including encryption keys, database connections, and environment-specific settings.
After making any changes to the infisical.rb file, always run infisical-ctl reconfigure to apply them.

​
Example Configuration

infisical.rb
# Important: Replace these values with secure keys in production
infisical_core['ENCRYPTION_KEY'] = '6c1fe4e407b8911c104518103505b218'
infisical_core['AUTH_SECRET'] = '5lrMXKKWCVocS/uerPsl7V+TX/aaUaI7iDkgl3tSmLE='

# Database connection strings
infisical_core['DB_CONNECTION_URI'] = 'postgres://<username>:<password>@<host>:5432/<database>'
infisical_core['REDIS_URL'] = 'redis://<host>:6379'
For a full list of supported configuration variables, refer to the configuration variables documentation.
