To obtain your Gemini API key for AI features:

1. Visit Google AI Studio
2. Sign in with your Google account
3. Click "Create API Key"
4. Copy the generated API key
5. Add it to your .env file as shown above

Livewire

Pressify allows you to disable Livewire on the frontend for various purposes. The default setting is true (enabled). The admin panel always has Livewire enabled.

TSS_LIVEVIEW_MODE=true

BROADCAST_CONNECTION=reverb

REVERB_APP_ID=105599
REVERB_APP_KEY=qe96ugbdiohegrovvenl
REVERB_APP_SECRET=eiuegjcopbtjoax0lm55
REVERB_HOST=socket.pressify.local
REVERB_PORT=80
