To run the application, you need to configure the following environment variables in a .env file at the root of your project:
- MYSQL_PASSWORD: The password for the MySQL user.
- SECRET: A secret key used for signing JWT tokens. It should be a strong, secure value.
- COOKIE_NAME: The name of the cookie to store the JWT token.
Make sure to keep this file secure and do not commit it to version control (e.g., Git) by adding it to your .gitignore file.
