# Halkyon Learn's domain, as TRAIN_DOMAIN and TODO_DOMAIN are Train's and Todo's (named
# DOMAIN until 2 Nov 2026): `http://localhost` for the local rehearsal;
# `learn.halkyon.eu` on its server.
LEARN_DOMAIN=http://localhost

# The domain people's handles are on (`raisondetredev@halkyon.eu`) and their profile
# pages (`https://halkyon.eu/@raisondetredev`, ADR 0011), when it isn't LEARN_DOMAIN's
# host: point its DNS (A and AAAA) at this server, and Caddy serves the profile pages
# there, nothing else. Unset: LEARN_DOMAIN's host. Decide before anyone follows a

# The instance's other services (optional, ADR 0016), such as Halkyon Todo: Halkyon
# Learn holds the instance's register of accounts, so an address, a SimpleLogin account
# and a handle are one person in every service, and deleting the account deletes it in
# all. The register learns when someone signs in to which service (the privacy page says
# so).

# the same value in each service's environment, never given to a device. Empty: no
# service calls another. Generate: openssl rand -hex 32

# The web servers of the other services as this server reaches them on the instance's
# own network (never through the internet), separated by commas or spaces
# (`http://todo-server:8082`): told when an account goes, so each deletes that person's
# data too, and told again hourly until each answers. Each of them sets, in its own
# environment, the same INSTANCE_SECRET and ACCOUNT_REGISTER_URL, this server's web
# server as it reaches it (`http://server:8082`). Learn never takes ACCOUNT_REGISTER_URL:
# it doesn't start with one, as it holds the register. Train's and Todo's compose files
