Re: Decoupling Postgres database credentials in django for deployment.

Environment variables are the best option for not embedding sensitive information in files

However some people (me that is :-) think that environment variables, though widely used, are an ugly hack for this problem.

I explain the way I do it (TLDR; production settings must be stored in a different "deployment" repository, preferably with any secrets encrypted) in https://www.crowdcast.io/e/deploying-django, from 38m10s to 46m30s.

Hi,

Environment variables are the best option for not embedding sensitive information in files which have chances to be stored in places such as external source repositories (GitHub et al.).

If you are working with orchestrators such as Kubernetes, you can use the "secrets", which are specialized shared configuration data, stored in encrypted form. As shared configuration data, they bring the extra benefit over env vars of being manageable from a single central place, and then distributed to all the replicas and services which need them.

Best regards

Hi, 

I am sorry, but this doesn't really make sense. What do you mean by decoupling the data? 

Deploying to the cloud, will mean that you will need to setup a new database for your project - there you will get a completly new database, that won't be connected to your development data in any way. 

You can then add system variables for the username and password for the database - and thats about all you need?

Andréas

Hi,
I have made a django project and want to deploy it on cloud.
Before that i want to decouple all the private information.
I want to decouple the database info too, like the username password etc.
Any help is appreciated.
