Unicorn not reading environment variables correctly

Posted on January 31, 2014

Hi Guys.

I have deployed a rails app on ubuntu using the on-click-install droplet, everything is working correctly except for some environment variables that are not been read by my app.

I have defined these variables on /etc/environment as follow:

export S3_BUCKET=mybucket export S3_KEY=HJKD… export S3_SECRET=+iSJKL…

After defined those variable I did the source /etc/environment, I also have restarted the droplet but in my app those variables are NIL.

ENV[‘S3_BUCKET’] === nil

Any help would be appreciate.

Regards
