Now it's time to deploy that app you've been working on in development to the server. The easiest and best way to do that is to clone the source code from version control (e.g. 3ds max 2016 product key generator. Git).

Rails

Mar 26, 2018  As announced in Rails 5.2.0 release candidate, Rails 5.2 will go out with a brand new credentials API that will eventually replace the current config/secrets.yml and config/secrets.yml.enc. Aug 02, 2019  app error: Missing `secretkeybase` for 'production' environment, set this value in `config/secrets.yml` (RuntimeError) - secretkeybase. $ RAILSENV=production rake secret: This will give a large string with letters and numbers, this is what you need, so copy that (we will refer to that code as GENERATEDCODE). Rails provides rake secret for just this purpose. The source code is here. The code simply requires SecureRandom and spits out a string. If you want to be really clever, you can pipe the string directly into your Vim buffer for the config file, with.! Check out rake -T secret inside.

  • As the name implies, secretkeybase should be a secret. That's why we don't generate a secret for production in config/secrets.yml.You see that it's reading from an environment variable so you can easily set your secret on your production server, without changing the file.
  • Oct 02, 2019  # Generate each with the `RAILSENV=production bundle exec rake secret` task (`docker-compose run -rm web rake secret` if you use docker compose) SECRETKEYBASE= OTPSECRET= # VAPID keys (used for push notifications # You can generate the keys using the following command (first is the private key, second is the public one).
  • Django Secret Key Generator. About Django Secret Key Generator. The Django Secret Key Generator is used to generate a new SECRETKEY that you can put in your settings.py module.
  • Alternatively, you can simply copy the existing secretkeybase from the secrettoken.rb initializer to secrets.yml under the production section, replacing '<%= ENV'SECRETKEYBASE'%'. Remove the secrettoken.rb initializer. Use rake secret to generate new keys for the development and test sections. Restart your server. 8.4 Changes to test.

Run these commands while logged in as the deployment user on your server:

Installing rbenv-vars

We need to store the Rails secret key as an environment variable. The rbenv-vars library will let us do so. On your server, run:

Copy the secret key it generates, then paste it in place of <secret_key> in the command below:

You should be ready to run your app now.

Running the app

Run this command while logged in as the deployment user on your server:

Finding your server's public IP address

Then, in your browser address bar, you'll need to type an IP address and port number, separated by a colon: <address>:3000. (The Rails server will be running on port 3000.) For the address portion, you'll need to find the public IP address of your server.

If you're running the server locally as a virtual machine, you'll need to forward traffic from port 3000 on your own computer to port 3000 on the virtual machine. This video includes additional information about forwarding ports in VirtualBox. Then you'll need to connect to your own computer from your browser using the special IP address 127.0.0.1.

If you're running an actual server with a web hosting company, consult their online documentation to learn how to look up your server's IP address. Most hosting companies offer a web-based control panel where you can configure your servers, and the IP address should be listed there.

Rails Generate Secret

  • 0:00

    Let's run a Rails app onour server to test it out.

  • 0:03

    We're going to clone a Railsap to the server via Git.

  • 0:05

    And then, use Bungler toinstall the specific version of

  • 0:08

    the rails gem our app needs.

  • 0:09

    Along with all the appsother gem dependencies.

  • 0:11

    We're going to be installinga large number of gems here.

  • 0:15

    And since this is a production server,

  • 0:17

    we're not going to need the documentationthat comes along with them.

  • 0:20

    So.let's make a quick change to our Gem

  • 0:21

    configuration here.

  • 0:23

    I'm going to use the Nano editorto edit the hidden gem RC file.

  • 0:29

    That's dot gem RC in our home directory.

  • 0:33

    That command will createthe file if it doesn't exist and

  • 0:38

    I'm going to add a line to it.

  • 0:41

    Gem, colon double dash no-document.

  • 0:42

    And that'll add a flagto the command line.

  • 0:45

    That gets used when it's installing gems.

  • 0:49

    As usual, hit Ctrl+O to writeout the file and Ctrl+X to exit.

  • 0:55

    Now, let's visit the site forthe project will be cloning.

  • 0:58

    It's a project here on Github.

  • 1:00

    The link's in the shownotes if you want it and

  • 1:04

    I'm going to get its clone URL.I'm not going to use the SSH URL.

  • 1:09

    I'm going to use the Https URL.

  • 1:11

    I'm going to select that, copy it.

  • 1:16

    Switch back to my terminal and I'm goingto run the command git clone and the URL.

  • 1:24

    That will clone the app down from Github.

  • 1:27

    In a moment, we're going to changeit to the apps directory and

  • 1:29

    use bundler to install its dependent gems.

  • 1:32

    But first, we're going to needthe bundler gem installed.

  • 1:35

    So, we'll do that with the command gem.

  • 1:37

    Install bundler.

  • 1:41

    No need to put the word suedo before it.

  • 1:46

    Hit return.

  • 1:47

    It'll install bundler and then,

  • 1:49

    we can change the app directory andrun bundle install.

  • 2:01

    It will take a few minutes to downloadrails and all its dependent gems.

  • 2:11

    And when it goes back to the command line,your install will be complete.

  • 2:15

    Since we've never run this Rails appin the production environment before,

  • 2:18

    the database doesn't exist there.

  • 2:20

    Also, since this is a brandnew instance of the rails app,

  • 2:23

    we should load the schema forthe database.

  • 2:25

    We shouldn't create itby running migrations.

  • 2:28

    Rails has a sub commandthat'll do all that for us.

  • 2:31

    First, we need to ensure that it'srunning in the production environment.

  • 2:34

    Not development or testing.

  • 2:36

    So, we do that by specifying the RAILS_ENV

  • 2:40

    environment variablehere on the command line.

  • 2:47

    And we're going to set thatto the string production.

  • 2:50

    Type a space and then right after that,we're going to run the bin/rails command.

  • 2:55

    So, this set up here willrun the bin/rails command

  • 2:58

    with the rails nth environmentvariable set to production.

  • 3:03

    With all that set, we're goingto run the sub command db:setup.

  • 3:08

    Db:setup is like several othercommands rolled into one.

  • 3:11

    It'll create a database for us and then,it'll automatically load the schema for

  • 3:15

    that database.

  • 3:18

    Hit return to run it and

  • 3:20

    it will create a database forus and load the schema into it.

  • 3:24

    Okay with all that done,our app should be ready to test.

  • 3:27

    Let's give it a try.

  • 3:28

    We're going to run the exact same command.

  • 3:31

    RAILS EMV production bin slash rails,

  • 3:34

    but we're going to run the serversub-command this time.

  • 3:40

    It'll start up and note,that it's running on port 3000.

  • 3:43

    We'll be showing you how tohook it into a web server

  • 3:47

    running on port 80 in a later workshop.

  • 3:49

    But we'll just connect toit on port 3000 for now.

  • 3:52

    In a browser address bar,

  • 3:54

    type the public IP address of your server,followed by the port.

  • 4:00

    In my case, I'm running my serverin VirtualBox on my local machine.

  • 4:05

    So, I'll connect 127.0.0.1:3000 Sothat's 127.0.0.1:3000.

  • 4:10

    For info on finding your server's public

  • 4:15

    IP address, see the teacher's notes.

  • 4:19

    So, I hit Enter to attempt toload the page but what I see is,

  • 4:23

    127.0.0.1 refused to connect.

  • 4:27

    There's a variety ofreasons this can happen.

  • 4:29

    You should see the teacher's notes andit's for some troubleshooting help.

  • 4:32

    But in my case, it's because port 3000on my virtual machine can't be reached.

  • 4:37

    So, I'm going to go to virtual box andbring up the settings for

  • 4:41

    my virtual server.

  • 4:43

    Go to the network tab andexpand the advanced settings and

  • 4:48

    click on the port forwarding button.

  • 4:51

    And we currently have rules set up toforward port 80 to port 8080 on the host.

  • 4:58

    As well as port 22 to port 2222, butwe don't have anything for port 3000.

  • 5:03

    So, let's go ahead and add that one now.

  • 5:15

    I'm going to go and give this rule thisrule a name of H-T-T-P for development.

  • 5:16

    Protocol as always is, going to be T-C-P.

  • 5:19

    I won't specify a host I-P,so that'll match any host.

  • 5:24

    And it's actually okay if I forwardto the exact same host on the port

  • 5:28

    that I'm getting from the guest.

  • 5:30

    Because there isn't going to be a servicealready running on port three thousand in

  • 5:33

    my case.

  • 5:34

    So, I'll forward all trafficreceived on host port 3,000 to port

  • 5:39

    3,000 on the guest.

  • 5:41

    Click OK and OK again to save the changesand they should take effect immediately.

  • 5:46

    So, let me go back to my browser and trysending the request again to port 3,000.

  • 5:51

    I actually connect successfully this time,but I see the error.

  • 5:55

    An unhandled low level error occurred.

  • 5:57

    The application logs may have details.

  • 6:01

    If I go back to my terminal,we'll see the rails log there.

  • 6:05

    And we see a RuntimeError.

  • 6:06

    Missing secret_key_base forthe production environment.

  • 6:10

    Set this value in config/secret.yml.

  • 6:15

    So, this looks like something we're goingto need to fix in our configuration.

  • 6:18

    Let's take a look atthat file it recommends.

  • 6:21

    So, we're going to fireup the Nano editor and

  • 6:23

    we're going to edit the file it requests.

  • 6:25

    Config, directory,

  • 6:28

    secrets.yml and

  • 6:35

    down here at the bottom,we see a warning in the comments.

  • 6:37

    Do not keep productionsecrets in the repository.

  • 6:40

    Instead, read the valuesfrom the environment.

  • 6:43

    By repository, it means our GitHub,our source code repo.

  • 6:48

    And it suggests that instead, we shouldread values from an environment variable.

  • 6:52

    That's precisely what it's doing here.

  • 6:54

    It's got the secret key base setting forthe production environment.

  • 6:57

    Just like it does forthe development and test environments.

  • 7:00

    But it's using an ERB tag to loadit from an environment variable.

  • 7:06

    So all we have to do is,set that environment variable and

  • 7:09

    it will be loaded here.

  • 7:11

    So, I'm going to go ahead an exit outof this without making any changes.

  • 7:15

    So, first we need togenerate the secret key.

  • 7:17

    Then, we're going to need a way to storeit in an environment variable without

  • 7:21

    checking any kind of scriptinto our Git repository.

  • 7:24

    So we're going to need a place tostore that environment variable.

  • 7:28

    There's an RBM plugin namedRBM VARs that can help us.

  • 7:33

    Here's its page on Github.

  • 7:38

    Basically as its description says,RBM Fars is a plugin for our RBM.

  • 7:42

    That lets you set global and

  • 7:43

    project specific environment variablesbefore spawning Ruby processes.

  • 7:48

    Sounds like just what we need.

  • 7:50

    There's a command here that you can copyand paste into a terminal to install it.

  • 7:54

    So, let's copy it, Switch to ourserver terminal and paste it here.

  • 8:02

    It'll clone the rbenv-vars pluginrepository into our rbenv plugins

  • 8:07

    directory and after that,it will be installed.

  • 8:12

    Now, let's run the command thatwill generate a rail secret key for

  • 8:15

    a spin slash rails secret.

  • 8:17

    It will generate this big long hexadecimalstring, which will copy to our clipboard.

  • 8:27

    Environment variables for

  • 8:28

    rbrnv fars get stored in a hidden conflictfile within your Rails apps directory.

  • 8:33

    So, let's edit file now.

  • 8:35

    We'll run our nano editor and

  • 8:38

    will edit the file nameto dot rbenv dash bars.

  • 8:43

    The dot at the start of course,

  • 8:45

    keeps the files hidden froman ordinary directory listing.

  • 8:49

    Hit inner, it'll create the file,if it doesn't exist already.

  • 8:53

    And the format for

  • 8:54

    this file is just the name ofthe environment variable you want to set.

  • 8:59

    Which in this case is,secret underscore key underscore base.

  • 9:03

    All caps, an equal sign and then,

  • 9:06

    the value you want to assign to it,which we'll paste here.

  • 9:10

    Make sure there are no spacessurrounding the equal sign.

  • 9:14

    Okay, that should be all we need, solet's hit control O to write out the file.

  • 9:19

    Hit enter to confirm the file name andhit Control x to exit.

  • 9:23

    Now, let's try runningour real server again.

  • 9:26

    I'll just bring upthe command from before,

  • 9:30

    RAILs_ENV=production bin/rails server.

  • 9:34

    Okay, and let's go back to our browser andtry reloading the page again.

  • 9:41

    The page loads successfully.

  • 9:43

    We're also able to click the linkto create a new signature.

  • 9:49

    And it will be saved to the database.
