Sylvain ZimmerandGitHub e6296f9b3a (integrations) add integrations view in mailbox (#488)
For now this allows users to create feedback widgets linked to their
mailbox. We will also have API keys and recurring imports there.

# Environment Variables
This document provides a comprehensive overview of all environment variables used in the Messages application. These variables are organized by service and functionality.
## Development Environment
### Environment Files Structure
The application uses a new environment file structure with `.defaults` and `.local` files:
- `*.defaults` - Committed default configurations
- `*.local` - Gitignored local overrides (created by `make bootstrap`)
#### Available Environment Files
- `backend.defaults` - Main Django application settings
- `common.defaults` - Shared settings across services
- `frontend.defaults` - Frontend configuration
- `postgresql.defaults` - PostgreSQL database configuration
- `keycloak.defaults` - Keycloak configuration
- `mta-in.defaults` - Inbound mail server settings
- `mta-out.defaults` - Outbound mail server settings
- `crowdin.defaults` - Translation service configuration

## Legend
- **Required**: Must be set for the application to function
- **Dev**: Required for development/testing environments
- **Optional**: Has sensible defaults, can be customized
## Environment Files
The application uses environment files located in `env.d/development/` for different services:
- `backend.defaults` - Main Django application settings
- `common.defaults` - Shared settings across services
- `frontend.defaults` - Frontend configuration
- `postgresql.defaults` - PostgreSQL database configuration
- `keycloak.defaults` - Keycloak configuration
- `mta-in.defaults` - Inbound mail server settings
- `mta-out.defaults` - Outbound mail server settings
- `crowdin.defaults` - Translation service configuration
### Local Overrides
The `make bootstrap` command creates empty `.local` files for each service with a comment header:
```
# Put your local-specific, gitignored env vars here
```
These files are gitignored and allow for local development customizations without affecting the repository.
## Security Notes
⚠️ **Important Security Considerations:**
1. **Never commit actual secrets** - Use `.local` files only
2. **OIDC_ALLOW_DUPLICATE_EMAILS** - Should remain `False` in production
3. **CORS_ALLOW_ALL_ORIGINS** - Should be `False` in production
4. **DJANGO_SECRET_KEY** - Must be unique and secret in production
5. **Database passwords** - Use strong, unique passwords
6. **API tokens** - Rotate regularly and keep secure
## Production Deployment
For production deployments, ensure:
1. All **Required** variables are properly configured
2. Secrets are managed through secure secret management systems
3. HTTPS is enforced for all external communications
4. Database connections use SSL/TLS
5. File storage uses appropriate access controls
