deployment::secrets_file recipe

Include this custom recipe to generate a too_many_secrets.rb file containing ENV variables for use by a Rails application.

Custom JSON

In the custom JSON in your stack configuration, add a 'secrets' section with the ENV variables and their values. (Variable names will be upcased.) Also add the secrets file to the list of files to symlink.

{
  "deploy": {
    "estuary": {
      "symlink_before_migrate" : {
        "config/too_many_secrets.rb": "config/too_many_secrets.rb"
      },
      "secrets" : {
        "rails_cookie_token" : "",
        "twitter_client_key" : "",
        "twitter_client_secret" : "",
        "twitter_oauth_token" : "",
        "twitter_oauth_secret" : "",
        "flickr_api_key" : "",
        "flickr_api_secret" : "",
        "youtube_api_key" : ""
      }
    }
  }
}

Process the secrets file

Add this block to config/application.rb in your Rails app:

# Secrets should come from ENV variables,
# but you can store them in a handy secrets file if that's easier
secrets_file = File.expand_path('../too_many_secrets', __FILE__)
require secrets_file if File.exists?(secrets_file + '.rb')
