Capistrano未设置环境变量AWS EC2

Question

I currently have an app deployed with capistrano in an EC2 instance in AWS.

For some reason, some of the ENV VARS are not set when the app runs. If I connect via SSH and do a printenv or use the rails console, the ENV VARs do show properly. But for the running app, the ENV VARs do not show.

I've got little experience with Capistrano and EC2 so I'm not entirely sure what code should I share and I don't know where to check if my configuration is properly done.

How do I set up the environment variables so that they are accesible for the deployed application?

Answer 1

You can set the environment variables for capistrano session:

set :default_environment, { 
 'environment_variable_1' => 'value_1',
 'environment_variable_2' => 'value_2'
}

Answer 2

I've found my answer here: Capistrano and API keys in ENV variables?

I had to follow any of the methods described there to set the env vars. I've actually followed the second method, using the dotenv gem.
