I'm an OpenShift newbie and just a while ago I managed to deploy a basic Rails app with the Next Gen console. I did a few tweaks to the app, namely created a home controller with
`rails g controller home index`
and updated the config/routes.rb file by setting the root route to root 'home#index' instead of get 'home/index'.
Now the local rails server points correctly to the index page when running in development environment, so there is no problem at all.
But when I pushed the updated content to the git remote repository and and started a new build with
oc start-build <app>
and reloaded the page with the OpenShift production environment, nothing is shown but
An unhandled lowlevel error occurred. The application logs may have details.
Edit: the command oc logs dc/<app> returned me this as "root error":
#<RuntimeError: Missing `secret_key_base` for 'production' environment, set this value in `config/secrets.yml`>
Then my config/secrets.yml in the production section reads:
# Do not keep production secrets in the repository,
# instead read values from the environment.
production:
secret_key_base: <%= ENV["SECRET_KEY_BASE"] %>
Now I guess this has to do with setting up environment variables in an OpenShift environment. I found out the command
oc env dc/<app> <ENV_VARIABLE>=<value>
from this guide. Is it the correct one? If yes, how to generate a proper SECRET_KEY_BASE value?
Any help is of course highly appreciated, thank you
Solved. I found out eventually the rake secret command generates a hash for you, then used oc env dc/<app> SECRET_KEY_BASE=<hash> and rebuilt the app with oc start-build <app>
