Generating the Encryption Key

The encryption key must be exactly 32 characters. Generate a secure key:

openssl rand -base64 32 | head -c 32

Important: Store this key securely. Losing it means losing access to encrypted data.

---

Verification

After starting SPEAR:

1. Access the web interface

   • Open http://localhost:8090 in your browser

2. Create admin account

   • Navigate to http://localhost:8090/_/
   • Create your first admin account

3. Check version

   ./spear --version

---

Troubleshooting

”Permission denied”

chmod +x ./spear

Port already in use

Change the port:

./spear serve --http 0.0.0.0:8091

Missing encryption key error

Ensure SPEAR_ENCRYPTION_KEY is set:

echo $SPEAR_ENCRYPTION_KEY  # Should show your key
