All configuration for the Infisical Linux package is managed through a single file called infisical.rb, located in the /etc/infisical directory.
This file defines all necessary settings, including encryption keys, database connections, and environment-specific settings.
<Info> After making any changes to the infisical.rb file, always run infisical-ctl reconfigure to apply them. </Info>
# Important: Replace these values with secure keys in production
