Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/hoppscotch/hoppscotch/issues/1733

My intent is to self-host the application, previously (when it was still postwoman) this worked without too much hassle. After having recently upgraded to the latest version of Hoppscotch, I'm now finding out that I need an API key at FireBase to -run- the application, is this intended? If so, why?

We've gradually added more features like cloud sync, teams collaboration etc which requires a backed provider ie: a Firebase instance.

You can use your own Firebase config keys or use the default one in .env.example file from the root directory.

@liyasthomas:The follow up question I was going to raise, is that starting the application using the provided API keys in the example prevents the app from starting up (spinning ball on screen, console reports invalid api key).

Yes, I have done that already. As per my previous post, the provided default API key (that is defined in .env.example) does not work and gives this error.

I can confirm the default env keys are working.

For development environment: rename .env.example to .env.
For production/self-host environment: add environment variables from .env.example to build environment variables like Netlify, Vercel etc.
