Important Note
After installation process there are some important step you have to complete in order to be make sure your data stored safely and reliable.
Backing up the configuration file
During the installation process, the application generates a unique encryption key called LOCAL_ENCRYPTION_KEY.
This key is stored in:
/etc/executor/executor-api.env
This key is critical for decrypting sensitive data that the application stores internally (such as user secrets, tokens, secure fields, or system-level encrypted values).
If you lose the LOCAL_ENCRYPTION_KEY, any data encrypted with this key will become permanently inaccessible.
The application will not be able to decrypt previously stored encrypted records, which may lead to:
- Loss of user credentials
- Loss of API tokens
- Inability to read system configuration secrets
- Failed background jobs or API responses
- Broken integrations
There is no recovery method if the key is lost.
For this reason, you must back up this key immediately after installation. See how to backing up the data.
