Migrate from figaro to dotenv-rails about applications-setup-guide HOT 7 CLOSED

What I see as a problem, is the configuration of env specific values

from applications-setup-guide.

Would it be an option to take over the project, or at least keep on working on our branch? Figaro is pretty small. What I'd also consider is the new way Rails handles the secrets. We'll not have secret ENVs anyways in the future.

Two points against Rails credentials:

• you cannot configure different credentials for testing, develop, and master. You would need to create three equivalent Rails environments, which at the moment we don't have (we use production in all three)
• IMHO it goes against this 12 factor app principle of keeping configuration in the environment: https://12factor.net/config

Regarding Figaro maintainance, I'd be in. Could you try to get in touch with @laserlemon and see if he is interested in adding us as maintainers?
Maybe releasing a figaro2 gem would be an option as well

from applications-setup-guide.

I just noticed v2 is on the way: https://github.com/laserlemon/figaro/tree/v2

Ah, nice, even active.

Regarding the config in environment: I agree with your 12factor point. But do you know then, what's the rationale behind the encrypted config file in Rails? In my eyes it would totally not fulfil the Rails 6 "Scalability" claim.
