Hello everyone 

I am hosting my website on google cloud platform on Ubuntu VM instance. I cannot find a way to set the environment variable in the machine 

Like when I type on my local machine os.environ.get("SECRET_KEY") it give me the key but when I type the same command on VM instance it shows me null 

I have tried some method like to edit the 
1./etc/environment 
2.~/.bashrc 
but none of the files is giving me the secret Key 

waiting for expert answer 

thankyou

You need to save in ~/.profile

thanks for your answer 

after your answer, I have tried to edit the ~/.profile file and /etc/profile/ but still, I can't see my key inside my VM instance 

i am putting 

SECRET_KEY="jhsgdjadtad876s87dsadsad7sa" 

in the above file .but when i run the command "env" i can see my key 

thankyou

Why don’t you use the decouple module? Use it and add it to your gitignore.
