SSL issue writing to google apis from Digital Ocean

[nthngalone]

Issue with writing to google apis on Digital Ocean. The generated credentials.json file has a double slash on the new-line characters (\\n) in the private key. Not sure if that's causing an issue. Disabled the service for now.

The double slash definitely is causing the error - was able to reproduce locally.

it's an issue with pulling environment variables from the OS - they get escaped automatically. dotenv apparently works around this. more research needed. leaving analytics disabled for now.

base64 encoding the private key was the easiest option that will work for local and deployed versions.
