http-observatory VS dotenv

Detectify once made an offer of making free scans which I took them up on. There are plenty of free Content Security Policy (CSP) and other vulnerability checkers around such as Observatory or Pentest. Shields UP!! will identify which ports you have open.

Website Headers Analyzer (Mozilla)

scan our site with Mozilla Observatory and improve our grade by registering a domain name, enabling HTTPS, adding a certificate and setting security headers

First, for session persistence, go with the default Django session with cookie storage. Set your cookie to HTTP only and ensure your application uses the most common HTTP security headers and controls. Test your application with https://observatory.mozilla.org/ to have an idea of what you're missing.

Mozilla Observatory

See https://observatory.mozilla.org and https://github.com/styled-components/styled-components/issues/2363 and https://content-security-policy.com/examples/allow-inline-style/

Rank your site on https://observatory.mozilla.org/ and it will give you some suggestions.

We will put our Emailjs environment variables in a dotenv (.env) file. To read more about the purpose of this file click here.

Add .env to your .gitignore file to prevent it from being committed. Here's an example file with it already added. You may also use dotenv for advanced configuration and it will automatically load environment variables from a .env file into process.env.

dotenv: Designed to load environment variables from a .env file into the process.env environment

Like Doppler, Infisical uses environment variable injection. Similar to the Dotenv package for Node, when used in Node, it injects them at run time into the process object of the running app so they're not readable by any other processes or users. They can still be revealed by a crash dump or logging, so that is a caveat to consider in your code and build scripts.

We'll be working with databases' ids and different info that should be secured so I would advise you to create a .env file to store said info. We'll do this by installing dotenv into our project and use it accordingly:

dotenv - For reading our API keys from the environment

As an avid dotenv user I wanted to thank their maintainers for keeping the project alive for 10 years (wow). A perfect exemplary of dedication to Open Source.

Sensitive data like database URLs, API keys, and passwords should never be hardcoded in your application code. Instead, use environment variables accessed at runtime to keep this information secret. Popular dotenv libraries like dotenv make this easy for Node.js apps.
