• Jul 10, 2019  Dismiss Join GitHub today. GitHub is home to over 40 million developers working together to host and review code, manage projects, and build software together.
• # Your secret key is used for verifying the integrity of signed cookies. # If you change this key, all old signed cookies will become invalid! # Make sure the secret is at least 30 characters and all random, # no regular words or you'll be exposed to dictionary attacks. # You can use `rake secret` to generate a secure secret key.
• I don't think that this should be changed. Secretkeybase will be the name of the key in yml file and will give you more idea about what it is, rather then just keybase which means nothing and everything at the same time.

It includes pregenerated secret keys for the development and test environments, and reads the secretkey for the production environment from an environment variable: secretkeybase: <%= ENV'

Great… but what if they become compromised? Or we need to change them? We can generate new ones.

Rails provides rake secret for just this purpose.

The source code is here. The code simply requires SecureRandom and spits out a string. If you want to be really clever, you can pipe the string directly into your Vim buffer for the config file, with :.! rake secret.

Check out rake -T secret inside a Rails root directory for more information.

app error: Missing `secret_key_base` for 'production' environment, set this value in `config/secrets.yml` (RuntimeError)

secret_key_base

So i was using Rails 4.1 with Unicorn v4.8.2 and when i tried to deploy my app it doesn't start properly and into the unicorn.log file i found this error message:

'app error: Missing `secret_key_base` for 'production' environment, set this value in `config/secrets.yml` (RuntimeError)'

After a little research i found that Rails 4.1 change the way to manage the secret_key, so if we read the secrets.yml file located at exampleRailsProject/config/secrets.yml (you need to replace 'exampleRailsProject' for your project name) you will find something like this:

# Do not keep production secrets in the repository,

# instead read values from the environment.

production:

secret_key_base: <%= ENV['SECRET_KEY_BASE'] %>

This means that rails recommends you to use an environment variable for the secret_key_base in our production server, so in order to solve this error you will need to follow this steps to create an environment variable for linux (in my case it is Ubuntu) in our production server:

1.- In the terminal of our production server you will execute the next command:

$ RAILS_ENV=production rake secret

This will give a large string with letters and numbers, this is what you need, so copy that (we will refer to that code as GENERATED_CODE).

2.1- Now if we login as root user to our server we will need to find this file and open it:

$ vi /etc/profile

Then we go to the bottom of the file ('SHIFT + G' for capital G in VI)

And we will write our environment variable with our GENERATED_CODE (Press 'i' key to write in VI), be sure to be in a new line at the end of the file:

export SECRET_KEY_BASE=GENERATED_CODE

Having written the code we save the changes and close the file (we push 'ESC' key and then write ':x' and 'ENTER' key for save and exit in VI)

2.2 But if we login as normal user, lets call it example_user for this gist, we will need to find one of this other files:

$ vi ~/.bash_profile

$ vi ~/.bash_login

$ vi ~/.profile

These files are in order of importance, that means that if you have the first file, then you wouldn't need to write in the others. So if you found this 2 files in your directory '~/.bash_profile' and '~/.profile' you only will have to write in the first one '~/.bash_profile', because linux will read only this one and the other will be ignored.

Then we go to the bottom of the file ('SHIFT + G' for capital G in VI)

And we will write our environment variable with our GENERATED_CODE (Press 'i' key to write in VI), be sure to be in a new line at the end of the file:

export SECRET_KEY_BASE=GENERATED_CODE

Having written the code we save the changes and close the file (we push 'ESC' key and then write ':x' and 'ENTER' key for save and exit in VI)

3.-We can verify that our environment variable is properly set in linux with this command:

$ printenv grep SECRET_KEY_BASE

or with:

$ echo $SECRET_KEY_BASE

When you execute this command, if everything went ok, it will show you the GENERATED_CODE that we generated before. Finally with all the configuration done you can deploy without problems your Rails app with Unicorn or other.

Now when you close your shell terminal and login again to the production server you will have this environment variable set and ready to use it.

And Thats it!! i hope this mini guide help you to solve this error.

Disclaimer: i'm not a guru of linux or rails, so if you find something wrong or any error i will be glad to correct it!

(we push 'ESC' key and then write ':x' and 'ENTER' key for save and exit in VI) when we going this way at this place ':x' and 'ENTER' for save and exit its demand the encrepted key or not save exit

TY bro that fix my problem zirexba commented on 22 Aug 2015 This is solution: At your app inside application.rb add this line: config.secret_key_base = 'blipblapblup'

commented Oct 28, 2016

config.secret_key_base = '<%= ENV['SECRET_KEY_BASE'] %>' is more secure

commented Jun 6, 2017

Add this line in config/environments/production.rb config.secret_key_base = ENV['SECRET_KEY_BASE']
