  Nakama is self-hosted for local development, so the "sandbox" is a local server run
  via Docker Compose or a binary, seeded with a well-known default server key. Heroic
  Cloud additionally provides non-production (development) title environments.
local_dev:
  method: docker-compose
  server_default_host: http://127.0.0.1:7350
  console_default_host: http://127.0.0.1:7351
  reference: https://heroiclabs.com/docs/nakama/getting-started/install/docker-quickstart/
credentials:
  default_server_key: defaultkey
  notes: >-
    `defaultkey` is the documented default server key used as the HTTP Basic username
    (with empty password) to obtain a session from a fresh local Nakama instance. It
    should be changed for production. This is a published default, not a secret.
console_default_login:
  username: admin
  password: password
  notes: Documented default Nakama Console credentials for a fresh local install; change for production.
environments:
  heroic_cloud: Development and Production title environments; development instances are non-scaling test targets.
notes: >-
  No hosted public demo API is published; test values above are the documented local
  development defaults. Never reuse these in production.
