Dotgpg::Rails

Shim to load environment variables directly into Rails from dotgpg encrypted files.

Add this line to the top of your application's Gemfile

gem 'dotgpg-rails', :groups => [:development, :test]

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install dotgpg-rails

You should also refer to the dotenv Notes on load order section.

This code is almost 100% copied from dotgpg/rails, refer to the dotenv readme, for more info since almost all of that document applies to this gem as well.

dotgpg is initialized in your Rails app during the before_configuration callback, which is fired when the Application constant is defined in config/application.rb with class Application < Rails::Application. If you need it to be initialized sooner, you can manually call Dotgpg::Railtie.load.

# config/application.rb
Bundler.require(*Rails.groups)

Dotgpg::Railtie.load

HOSTNAME = ENV['HOSTNAME']

If you use gems that require environment variables to be set before they are loaded, then list dotenv-rails in the Gemfile before those other gems and require dotgpg/rails-now.

gem 'dotgpg-rails', :require => 'dotgpg/rails-now'
gem 'gem-that-requires-env-variables'

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release to create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
