Github Action Workflow and environment variable

Hi,

I’m building a phoenix application and use Pow and Pow Assent for authentication. Pow assent requires sensitive information like provider ID and SECRET for social auth. GitHub - pow-auth/pow_assent: Multi-provider authentication for your Pow enabled app · GitHub

These values are set via environment variables.

My GitHub action:

name: Fly Deploy

  push:
    branches:
      - main

env:
  FLY_API_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.FLY_API_TOKEN }}

I have added these env variables in GitHub secrets

In prod my application is unable to access these secrets. Can anybody cross check

Thanks for nudging me in right direction. :folded_hands:t5: But I found out following things:

  1. You shouldn’t pass sensitive info via –build-arg link
  2. Use secrets instead
  3. If you have to pass env variables in flyctl deploy. Do it via –env or -e link

To check if secrets or env is being set correctly use flyctl config env

So my final GitHub Action script is

name: Fly Deploy

  push:
    branches:
      - main

  FLY_API_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.FLY_API_TOKEN }}

@xinhash As a side note, is there a specific reason that you are testing with OTP 24.3 and deploying to prod on OTP 25?

Thanks for pointing that you. Just have been hacking things using elixir and phoenix. Might have forgotten to update while copying :slight_smile:
