Setting PASSENGER_APP_ENV **does not** set RAILS_ENV to same value

[ortonomy]

Running a rails app inside this container, and doing some build stuff around it.

Either way, once it launches, RAILS_ENV is always set to production. This is not how the read me says it should be?

This doesn't work either:

# /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/webapp.conf:
server {
    ...
    # Ensures that RAILS_ENV, NODE_ENV, etc are set to "staging"
    # when your application is started.
    passenger_app_env development;
}

Dockerfile

FROM phusion/passenger-ruby26

# Set correct environment variables.
ENV HOME /root
ENV RAILS_SERVE_STATIC_FILES false
ENV RAILS_LOG_TO_STDOUT true
ENV PASSENGER_APP_ENV development

Hmm, actually it does. It was my fault for misconfiguring my database.yml file
