I'm following the tutorial:
http://railsapps.github.io/rails-environment-variables.html
to put all config in cloudinary.yml to environment variable on ubuntu.
I do it for reason security about api of cloudinary.
I used all of method on that tutorial but nothing worked.
I use rails console to test varialbe: ENV["cloud_name"] but the result => nil.
It means no key-value pair was push to enviroment varialbe.
Where's my wrong?
Please help, thanks

  You can use the CLOUDINARY_URL env var as supplied in your Admin Console, and then access it with ENV["CLOUDINARY_URL"]

  development:

  cloud_name: ENV["CLOUDINARY_URL"]

  api_key: ENV["CLOUDINARY_URL"]

  api_secret: ENV["CLOUDINARY_URL"]

  enhance_image_tag: true

  static_file_support: false

   

  This would be the way to go?

  Hi Javier, 

  As described in the doc Duyet shared above, you can use environment variables to create any key and store any value you'd like to use in your application.
  ENV["CLOUDINARY_URL"] is meant to store the entire CLOUDINARY_URL variable. If you'd like to store the cloud name, API Key and API Secret as well, you'll have to use something like:

  cloud_name: ENV["CLOUD_NAME"]

  api_key: ENV["API_KEY"]

  api_secret: ENV["API_SECRET"]
