• ✅ .env.production - Production credentials
• ✅ .env - Development credentials
• ✅ Prompt-*.txt - Project management files

# Check what's tracked by git
git ls-files | grep -E "\.env|Prompt"
# Should return NOTHING ✅

• ✅ Admin Password: Securely stored in .env.production
• ✅ Gemini API Key: Configured and working
• ✅ Database Password: Auto-generated strong password
• ✅ Redis Password: Auto-generated strong password
• ✅ Secret Key: Auto-generated 64-char string

• Review .env.production - ensure all secrets are strong
• Update ALLOWED_HOSTS with your actual domain
• Update CORS_ORIGINS with your actual frontend URL
• Change default admin password after first login
• Enable firewall (allow only 22, 80, 443)
• Set up SSH key authentication
• Disable password SSH login

• Setup SSL with Let's Encrypt
• Test backup/restore procedure
• Setup monitoring alerts
• Review nginx logs regularly
• Keep Docker and system packages updated
• Setup automated security updates

• Rotate passwords every 90 days
• Review access logs monthly
• Update dependencies regularly
• Test disaster recovery quarterly
• Audit user access permissions

1. Change all passwords immediately

   nano .env.production
   # Update ADMIN_PASSWORD, POSTGRES_PASSWORD, REDIS_PASSWORD
   ./deploy.sh production

2. Rotate API keys

   • Get new Gemini API key from Google Cloud Console
   • Update .env.production
   • Redeploy

3. Check for unauthorized access

   docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml logs | grep -i "error\|failed\|unauthorized"

4. Review git history

   git log --all --full-history --source -- .env.production
   # Should show NO commits ✅

# Verify .env files are not in git
git status | grep .env
# Should return NOTHING

# Verify file permissions
ls -la .env*
# Should show -rw------- (600)

# Check gitignore
cat .gitignore | grep .env
# Should show .env files listed

# Verify no secrets in git history
git log --all --oneline | xargs git show | grep -i "password\|api_key\|secret"
# Review output carefully
