What's a good way to setup configuration for environments? (appsettings)
Original message was deleted
POne annoying issue I'm having is that local secrets in secrets.json only work in Developmentthats literally the purpose of user secrets thou? in what other scenarios would you load them locally?
Puser-secrets is designed to be a way to easily add secrets to your project for development without it going on git, while using a secret manager/env vars/whatever in production
Pah, dont use
Development for anything except local devPso what you actually have is 3 environments.
local dev:
QA:
prod:
local dev:
DevelopmentQA:
Productionprod:
ProductionPanything that isnt local development env uses
Production as its "environment name" by defaultPso in the three cases above, local dev would use secrets.json, and the other two would use a secret manager
PI'll just leave this relevant quote here, because I love it;
Everybody has a testing environment. Some people are lucky enough enough to have a totally separate environment to run production in.
Pindeed
Pwhere/how do you host your QA and PROD envs?
Pwhat we do at work is use kubernetes config mapping to inject env vars that change what keyvault/aws manager to connect to
Psince we use k8s
Pyou can quite easily add your own
config.AddJsonFile(...) line that reads from an env-var to decide what file to read in thouPthats a good workaround
Pthe problem with
ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT is that it maps to an enum that only has Production and Development as optionsPactually, sorry, it appears it also has a
Staging valuePso you could use that for your "qa" environment
