+FREEPBX_CLIENT_ID: This is the client ID used for authenticating with the FreePBX API. It is part of the OAuth2 authentication process.
+
+FREEPBX_CLIENT_SECRET: This is the client secret used along with the client ID for authenticating with the FreePBX API.
+
+DB_HOST: This is the hostname or IP address of your database server. It is used to connect to the database. If running on your PBX, set to `127.0.0.1`
+
+DB_USER: This is the username used to authenticate with the database.
