## 🔧 Configuration Validation
WHOOSH validates configuration on startup and provides detailed error messages for invalid settings:
### Required Variables
- `WHOOSH_DATABASE_URL` or individual DB components
- `WHOOSH_GITEA_URL`
- `WHOOSH_GITEA_TOKEN` or `WHOOSH_GITEA_TOKEN_FILE`
### Common Validation Errors
```bash
# Invalid database URL
ERROR: Invalid database URL format
# Missing secrets
ERROR: JWT secret not found. Set WHOOSH_JWT_SECRET or WHOOSH_JWT_SECRET_FILE
# Invalid CORS configuration
ERROR: CORS wildcard (*) not allowed in production. Set specific origins.
# Docker connection failed
WARNING: Docker not available. Agent deployment disabled.
```
## 🚀 Best Practices
### Production Deployment
1. **Use Docker secrets** for all sensitive data
2. **Set specific CORS origins** (never use wildcards)
3. **Enable rate limiting** and input validation
4. **Configure appropriate timeouts** for your network
5. **Enable observability** (tracing, metrics, logs)
6. **Use conservative feature flags** until tested
### Security Hardening
1. **Rotate secrets regularly** using automated processes
2. **Use TLS everywhere** in production
3. **Monitor security logs** for suspicious activity
4. **Keep dependency versions updated**
5. **Review access logs** regularly
### Performance Optimization
1. **Tune database connection pools** based on load
2. **Configure appropriate cache settings**
3. **Use CDN for static assets** if applicable
4. **Monitor resource usage** and scale accordingly
5. **Enable compression** for large responses
### Troubleshooting
1. **Enable debug logging** temporarily for issues
2. **Check health endpoints** for component status
3. **Monitor trace data** for request flow issues
4. **Validate configuration** before deployment
5. **Test in staging environment** first
