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. Download your private.pem key file, then upload it to your server:

scp ~/Downloads/private.pem youruser@yourserver:~/bridge-bank/data/private.pem
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. Re-run the bank authorisation command from step 3 above, then restart with docker compose restart. If you configured email alerts, you'll get a notification before expiry.
