## Secrets You Must Not Commit

Never commit `.env.local` or `.dev.vars`. Never expose to the browser:

* `SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY`
* `TENANT_SECRETS_MASTER_KEY`
* `STREAMLY_CRON_SECRET`
* Plugin payment secrets
* `ENVATO_PERSONAL_TOKEN`
* `RESEND_API_KEY`

`NEXT_PUBLIC_*` values are public build inputs.

## Hosting Options

| Target              | Docs                                                     |
| ------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| Any Node 20+ server | [Deploy (Node)](/getting-started/deploy-node)            |
| Docker / OCI        | Inlined in [Deploy (Node)](/getting-started/deploy-node) |
| Cloudflare Workers  | [Deploy Cloudflare](/getting-started/deploy-cloudflare)  |

Streamly is **not** a static-only site. Auth, APIs, playback admission, and webhooks need a server runtime.
