I am using gitlab ci cd pipe line to deploy my application to ubuntu server. I have different .env file for local and for dev env and its not a part of git repo (included in gitignore) how to get env variables in my app when deployed to ubuntu server
my gitlab-ci.yml
stages:
- deploy
cache:
paths:
- node_modules/
deploy:
stage: deploy
script:
- npm install
- sudo pm2 delete lknodeapi || true
- sudo pm2 start server.js --name lknodeapi
I guess you are looking for this -Create Variables Gitlab.You can create your environment variables in the ui and then change your gitlab-ci.yml like below
stages:
- deploy
cache:
paths:
- node_modules/
deploy:
stage: deploy
script:
- echo "NGINX_REPO_KEY"=$NGINX_REPO_KEY >> ".env"
- npm install
- sudo pm2 delete lknodeapi || true
- sudo pm2 start server.js --name lknodeapi
This will create a .env file in root folder and put your variables in it.
