Configuration is set in config/secrets.yml via environment variables.
We use the dotenv gem to load variables specified in .env
into the rails app, only in the development
and test
environments. This makes sure they are only loaded for the context of the running rails app and that they don't pollute the shell environment.
In the Next app, if not using Docker, you'll want to copy over the .env.local.example
file to .env.local
and set the appropriate
variables there.
