How to run yarn with an long public key env variable?

1

Hey folks!

I’m currently trying to setup my node server to handle webhook payments requests from my payment provider Paddle. For that they give you a PUBLIC_KEY string that appears to be multiple lines long. Everything works fine on Heroku, however, I can’t seem to get it to work on Render.

I figured that the issue might be related to the default env input box not handling multiple lines that well, so I tried to do it with a secret file but I’m a bit stuck and nothing works.

Here is what I did:

  1. Remove PUBLIC_PADDLE_KEY env from list

  2. Create new secret file, call it .public_paddle_key and the string that looks like this:

-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----

-----END PUBLIC KEY-----
  1. Have this starting command: export PUBLIC_PADDLE_KEY=$(cat .paddle_public_key) yarn start

Would love to get your help! Thanks.

Hi there,

I believe after build time your secrets file is available at /etc/secrets/. Can you try using that absolute path and see if it helps resolve the issue?
