7 years ago With the fixes of #53 this folder will most likely be pointless as a side effect. Many of the contents before were private gitignored configuration options, like mongodb passwords, but this will be handled with #47.
Most of the other contents revolved around SSL/TLS but I've learned that running those in the application itself is a bad idea and a reverse proxy is a much better place to supply any certificates.
Currently the private folder is just a mess and has a lot of trivial information in it. Either sort through and remove unnecessary files, organize it into better folders, or remove it all together.
The folder doesn't contain anything major and is really just a place to put crap temporarily but hasn't had anything remove yet.
