Read credentials from Rails config file

[martin-mfv]

Currently, I want to create a Fog connection with params read from file config/aws.yml
For example:

default: &default
  aws_access_key: 
  aws_secret_key: 
  aws_region:  
  aws_endpoint: 

development:
  <<: *default

production:
  <<: *default

Can that be supported?

Within the rails context I think you should be able to load data from a file such as this with something like config_for(:aws), based on referencing these rails docs: https://guides.rubyonrails.org/configuring.html#custom-configuration.

So the most direct way would be to match up the keys in this file to the ones fog expects, so that you could just pass the return value from the config_for into the fog initializer. Hopefully that can get you what you need, and I don't think it should require any changes to fog-aws to support it.

I would be wary of using a default and/or using the same credentials in development and production though, as this could make it easy to accidentally override production data.

Hope that helps, since I don't think this should require changes I'll close this for now.
