On cloud9, how do you push one config for nodester, another to github

Okay, so wanting to start a little oss project via c9. I'd like to publish one config (private to nodester, containing for example mongolab credentials). I would rather not have this information in the example config that goes to github... how do others handle this?

Also, is this possible on a free c9 account?

Solution

  • I'd like to suggest you to read this article which tell you how to deploy from c9. In addition you can add environmental variables via our API explorer or via curl:

    curl -X PUT -u "testuser:123" -d "appname=a&key=color&value=blue" http://api.nodester.com/env

    So for example you want the MONGO_URL, you can do this:

    (this is a one line command)

    $ curl -XPUT -u "username:password" -d "appname=myappname&key=MONGO_URL&value=http://link.to/mongo/db" http://api.nodester.com/env

    And then in your app:

    var mongo = require('mongodriver');

    var db = mongo.connect(MONGO_URL);

    Hope this help.
