Environment / auth

EMEM_BIND
Bind address for the HTTP server. Defaults to 0.0.0.0:5051 inside the container.
EMEM_DATA
Path to the persistent data directory (sled cache + ed25519 identity). Mount a volume here.
EMEM_PUBLIC_URL
Optional canonical origin for self-referencing URLs in MCP responses (e.g. https://emem.dev). When unset the server falls back to urn:emem.
EMEM_TLS_DOMAINS
Comma-separated hostnames for built-in Let's Encrypt ACME (TLS-ALPN-01). When set, the server binds 0.0.0.0:443 instead of EMEM_BIND.
