A deployment you operate
Connext includes Docker Compose and Dokploy configuration. The application uses PostgreSQL for durable data and Valkey for shared real-time delivery and rate limits in production. TLS is required at the public endpoint.
Configure before the first signup
Set the application origin, a strong installation setup token, separate runtime and migration database credentials, and the Valkey connection. Use the setup screen to create the first platform administrator, then review the signup plan.
Make account email work
Configure an SMTP server, sender address and a 32-byte mail encryption key. Email delivery is needed for password recovery and email verification. Platform administrators can test SMTP connectivity and inspect sanitized delivery status.
Backups are part of the deployment
Schedule PostgreSQL backups and practice restoration into an isolated environment. Retain the encryption key securely with the deployment secrets. Monitor readiness, application errors and delivery failures.
Validate your production environment
The included local checks cover application behavior; they do not prove your hosting environment is ready. Build the image, run migrations, test networked PostgreSQL and Valkey, verify mail delivery, and exercise backup restoration before serving customers.
