# Rotating keys

{% hint style="danger" %}
**This documentation is for the CARTO Self-Hosted Legacy Version**. Use only if you've installed this specific version. Explore our latest documentation for updated features.
{% endhint %}

Rotating keys in CARTO Self-Hosted is a simple process to ensure the security of your custom buckets, BigQuery OAuth connections, Google basemaps and custom LDS API Keys. Below are instructions for both the single VM deployment and orchestrated container deployment versions.

## Single VM deployments (Docker Compose)

1. Navigate to your CARTO Self-Hosted installation directory.
2. Inside the <mark style="color:orange;">customer.env</mark> file, find and update the keys related to [custom buckets](/carto-self-hosted/guides/guides/configure-your-own-buckets.md), [BigQuery OAuth connections](/carto-self-hosted/guides/guides/enable-bigquery-oauth-connections.md), [Google basemaps](/carto-self-hosted/guides/guides/enable-google-basemaps.md) and LDS API Keys.
3. Save the changes to the <mark style="color:orange;">customer.env</mark> file.
4. Restart your self-hosted deployment using the following command:

   ```bash
   docker-compose down && docker-compose up -d
   ```

Remember to perform these steps with caution, ensuring minimal downtime for your CARTO Self-Hosted deployment.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.carto.com/carto-self-hosted/carto-self-hosted-legacy/maintenance/rotating-keys.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
