Hi Chris,

Thx for your quick answer! Maybe I don't understand... but your suggestion is exactly what I am trying to do :

1. Save the master key as Gitlab variable
2. Use this variable to generate a master.key file, through Docker

And here is my problem: the echo "$RAILS_MASTER_KEY" | tr -d '\r' > config/master.key doesn't seem to work, and I'm stuck with a base64 issue... I also tried using the | base64 -d filter instead of | tr -d '\r', and then I'm having a missing key error... What am I missing?

Thank you for your help and your explanations.

Hi everyone,

First, a great thank you for this platform: I learned a lot here!

I'm trying to deploy a dockerized Rails 5.2 application, using Gitlab CI/CD... First steps were going fine, but when I want to build my app, I get an error of missing master.key... So I learned here and there, to find how to solve this...

So I put the master key as a Gitlab variable (through settings > CI), and tried to copy it into a master.key file generated by script (see below). After trying a lot of methods, I'm still stuck with a "base64" issue, which I can't understand how to fix.

I'm getting started on Rails, and also on CI/CD... So if anyone could help me, it would be really great! Thx in advance.
