Re: How to hide the password of postgresql in settings.py

Use this

https://github.com/jpadilla/django-dotenv/blob/master/README.rst

If you have copied the GitHub template of .gitignore then the .env won't be in your history of vs. I used this in production and development without a single problem.

I am a newbie to Django. Using Postgresql for CRUD operations. Although its working but I need to write the password of my Postgresql server in the settings.py. How can I hide that without hampering the operation?

In your settings.py, you could write something like:


from my_site import localconfig

DEBUG = localconfig.DEBUG
SECRET_KEY = localconfig.SECRET_KEY

# Rest of normal settings.py file
# ...


and in a minmal my_site/localconfig.py file:


DEBUG = True
SECRET_KEY = '...'


For completeness, be aware that some people consider local config files an anti pattern. Personally, I've never found the arguments convincing, but use at your own discretion.
