Figaro is an incredibly useful and popular tool in the Rails community. Nanobox is an up and coming app deployment platform that deploys dockerized app components to one or more VPS' on the provider of your choice. These are both great tools, so why shouldn't they work together?
This tool brings the convenience of the figaro heroku:set command to nanobox.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'figobox'And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install figobox
There is one method, which is set. You must provide either this method or the shorthand switch for it ("-s").
The set method accepts the following switches:
| Switch | Description |
|---|---|
| -d, --dry-run | (optional) Do a dry run. This will display the nanobox evar command, but will not execute it. You should always make sure the correct values will be set before doing so in production! |
| -e, --figaro-environment | Specify the environment to use as the source from the application.yml file. |
| -n, --nanobox-alias | (optional) Specify the nanobox alias where the environment variables should be set. This can be "local", "dry-run", or a remote alias. |
This switch is required. The value should be the environment name from your application.yml file. Global values (top level values) in your application.yml file will be included, just as they are in Figaro.
This switch is optional. The gem will use intelligent defaults to guess what the value should be, and will exit with an error message if it is unable to guess a value.
Here is a chart showing what values will be assumed if it is not provided:
| Figaro environment | Assumed value |
|---|---|
| development | local |
| staging | dry-run |
| production | <blank> |
By leaving the production value blank, the app's remote will be used. If the app has more than one remote added, make sure you provide the one you want to set the values on.
To set your development variables, simply execute:
figobox set -e development
You can get more help by executing figobox help and figobox help set.
