Do u create the variable SECRET_KEY if no copy ur secret_key e.g "hdFgBv&$..." and create variable SECRET_KEY in ur env which could be or is ur hosting platform and give the value as ur secret_keyOn Sun, Feb 27, 2022, 21:19 Valdinia - Office <[email protected]> wrote: On W10 I defined an environment variable: SECRET_KEY In shell I can read the key: />>> import os/ />>> os.environ.get('SECRET_KEY')/ 'mysecretkey...' But when I'm doing the same thing in *settings.py* I get: \lib\site-packages\django\conf\__init__.py", line 90, in __getattr__ raise *ImproperlyConfigured("The SECRET_KEY setting must not be empty.") django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: The SECRET_KEY setting must not be empty.* I found all sorts of solutions, but none works for my app. What should I do?
SECRET_KEY belongs in settings.py as a stringTherefore, if you wish to avoid putting it in there directly (as we all do) you must call a function which returns a string.
SECRET_KEY = get_secret_key()... where you write get_secret_key() to pull it from the environment or a file somewhere which is not in your repository.
In my case, I wrote get_creds() as a general purpose retriever of credentials and other bits and pieces which don't belong in the repository and/or change between servers, eg., staging vs production vs development etc. I keep those credentials in separate files in a standard location on every server.
That is only suitable for servers I control. Cheers Mike
