opsworks_rails_secrets

Rails 4.1 cookbook to inject the secrets.yml into the shared config folder.

To use just specify the secrets in the stack's custom JSON. Example:

{
  "secrets": {
    "app_shortname": {
      "production": {
        "my_secret": "my_secret_value",
        "nested": {
          "value1": "1",
          "value2": "2"
        }
      }
    }
  },

  "deploy": {
    "app_shortname": {
      "symlink_before_migrate": {
        "config/secrets.yml": "config/secrets.yml"
      }
    }
  }
}

Opsworks Set-Up

• Add secrets, deploy_to, and symlink_before_migrate attributes to the stack's custom JSON as in the example above.
• Associate the opsworks_rails_secrets::configure custom recipe with the Deploy event in your rails app's layer.

A deploy isn't necessary if you just want to update the custom configuration. Instead, update the stack's custom JSON, then choose to Run Command > execute recipes and enter opsworks_rails_secrets::configure into the Recipes to execute field. Executing the recipe will write an updated secrets.yml file and restart unicorn workers.
