Setting Environment Variables

[bparanj]

I defined SECRET_KEY_BASE for Rails 4.1 in the rails ~/.profile file. When I deploy, I see error in the Apache log that it does not find value for secret_key_base. I have secrets.yml that defines secret_key_base=  <%= ENV['SECRET_KEY_BASE']. If I go to rails console in production I can see the value for ENV['SECRET_KEY_BASE']. Typing env in the command line also shows the value for the SECRET_KEY_BASE. How do I define the environment variable properly?

Never mind. I was assuming secrets.yml was getting updated on the server whenever I did cap deploy. Moonshine is not copying the secrets.yml file on every deploy. It looks like it does it only one first time deploy.

Check out the dotenv and dotenv-deployment gems. 

The other option is to have moonshine manage a file in /etc/defaults as shared_config to the values are available to all users (apache and rails).
