Your files are ready

Download both files and place them in the same folder on your server.

.env
docker-compose.yml

What to do next

1
Go to the Enable Banking developer dashboard → Applications → your app. There you'll find a button to download your private.pem key file to your computer.

Then upload it to your server so it ends up at ~/bridge-bank/data/private.pem. From your computer's terminal:

scp ~/Downloads/private.pem youruser@yourserver:~/bridge-bank/data/private.pem

// Replace ~/Downloads/private.pem with wherever it was saved, and youruser@yourserver with your SSH login.
2
Place both downloaded files in ~/bridge-bank/ alongside the data folder
3
Run the one-time bank authorisation:
docker run --rm -it -v "$(pwd)/data:/data" --env-file .env daalves/bridge-bank:latest python dosetup.py
4
Start the sync: docker compose up -d
5
Confirm it's running: docker compose logs -f
⚠️
Bank sessions expire every ~180 days
Enable Banking requires you to re-authorise access roughly every 6 months. When that happens, re-run the bank authorisation command from step 3 above, then restart the container with docker compose restart.

If you configured email alerts in the wizard, you'll get a notification before expiry so you're never caught off guard.
