Take this with a grain of salt, what is a Pro or Con for me, may actually be the opposite for you! Try it out! Note: This is highly opinionated, and I realize Render is a small team, and it will take time for them to come up to the same level as Heroku (which I've used for years and years).

I do wish they had a managed Redis instance, as I have no idea how I'd do a Redis update for my service I just deployed, or if doing so would make me loose data. Render wasn't as quick for me to setup, but it still was faster than doing all of the setup myself. Assuming it worked, go configure your Custom Domain in Settings on your Web service! Then your app can respond to both the domain + your custom domains!.Let the deploy finish, if it works successfully go try out the app, otherwise read the logs and try and do some troubleshooting.Or if not using RAILS_MASTER_KEY, add SECRET_KEY_BASE key and set the value to whatever "rails secret" outputs in your terminal.Add a RAILS_MASTER_KEY to the value from your config/master.key or config/environmentname/master.key file (if using environment specific keys)."redis://serviceaddress:10000", aka, take the service address from your private service, and prefix it with redis:// and you'll be good to go Add DATABASE_URL to the value of the Internal Connection String from your Database service.NOTE: You may want to use an Environment Group instead if you also need to create a Background worker (like Sidekiq!) That will let you share these variables between the Web + Background Services (handy!).Update Start command to be "bundle exec puma -C config/puma.rb" (no quotes!).Update build command to be "./bin/render-build.sh" (no quotes!).Ensure it's in the same region as your Database. Give it a name, in my case "appname-web".

Select your source code repository, don't make a mistake here, you can't change it later :(.Copy that value, we'll use that to set it as DATABASE_URL shortly. Once it's done creating, you'll view it and see "Internal Connection String". Pick a size for the disk in my case I did: 1 GB should be enough for small projects. Give it a name and set the mount path to /var/lib/redis. Pick a basic plan (I went with Starter for testing!).Ensure Docker is the selected Environment.In my case I went with appname-redis, since there's no grouping, we can at least prefix services with appname- for now. For "name", enter in something you'd like to identify easily.Select your redis repo you just forked.We need to fork it, so our account doing deployments can access it when we go to deploy a Private service for redis for it. Once you have a Render account and have added a Credit Card. In my case, I need Redis and a PostgreSQL database. but alas, let's create services we need for our application first, before we go to do our first deploy. Render unfortunately doesn't let you easily group all of your services into an Application or Project. It's super easy to spin into a shell, and it even seemed like when you opened a shell, you're on the actual instance running the app! (I ran 'ps aux' and it showed me my Puma process! 😱) There's only managed Postgres Databases for now, and with Render, it feels like you get more controls. With Render, you get only the Bells and none of the whistles Heroku has. Part of that setup ease is habit too, I've used Heroku off and on for the better part of like 8 years, so let's try not to let habit taint the views of this new offering. That's pretty slick and hard to beat, even though you do pay for it in cost. In Heroku, I know I can just Heroku create my app, deploy it, then go add my resources for redis afterwards and it does all the ENV configuration for me. I'm the type of person who wants to explore on my own without resorting to digging through documentation. I mean, just look at their comparison page. One advantage of Render is they bill themselves as a significantly cheaper Heroku. Most Rails developers have heard of Heroku, as its super simple to get going with them. enc file you must access through ActionMailer::Base.Render is a Platform as a Service(PasS) provider, similar to Heroku.

Now to access the environments variables that you defined on your. enc, just commit your and push it to heroku.įor master.key on heroku you can define the environment variable RAILS_MASTER_KEY on your heroku app and put the value of master.key on it. Now the file master.key is ignored by your version control because it is the key rails use to decrypt the. In your case, you should have these files config/master.keyĭelete those files and then you can generate with this: rails credentials:edit Here are the docs for environmental security on rails
