Rails keeps asking for AWS credentials for MySQL storage – Debian

I’m trying out Sharetribe Community Edition on a Debian 10 server (not AWS) following these instructions: https://github.com/sharetribe/sharetribe#installation

I am stuck on step 7 with the following error:

Aws::Sigv4::Errors::MissingCredentialsError: missing credentials,
provide credentials with one of the following options:

    :access_key_id and :secret_access_key
    :credentials
    :credentials_provider

However, Rails knows that I am not using Amazon but rather local storage because I have the following two settings:

File: config/environments/development.rb
config.active_storage.service = :local

File: config/environments/production.rb
config.active_storage.service = :local

After changing those settings, I ran the following command:

~/sharetribe$ EDITOR=“sub1 --wait” bin/rails credentials:edit

And got the output below:

Adding config/master.key to store the master encryption key:
[REDACTED]

Save this in a password manager your team can access. If you lose the
key, no one, including you, can access anything encrypted with it.

create config/master.key

Ignoring config/master.key so it won’t end up in Git history:

append .gitignore

New credentials encrypted and saved.

But after running this:

~/sharetribe$ bundle exec rake db:create db:structure:load

I get the error above.

Edit: Here’s config/storage.yml. Not sure if I should comment out the Amazon section

test:
  service: Disk
  root: <%= Rails.root.join("tmp/storage") %>

local:
  service: Disk
  root: <%= Rails.root.join("storage") %>

# Use rails credentials:edit to set the AWS secrets (as aws:access_key_id|secret_access_key)
amazon:
  service: S3
  access_key_id: <%= APP_CONFIG.aws_access_key_id%>
  secret_access_key: <%= APP_CONFIG.aws_secret_access_key %>
  region: <%= APP_CONFIG.s3_region %>
  bucket: <%= APP_CONFIG.clp_s3_bucket_name %>
  upload:
    acl: "public-read"
    cache_control: 'max-age=3600'

TLDR: I want to store Sharetribe’s database in its own server but Rails keeps asking for AWS/Amazon credentials despite local setting

    Sharetribe has the aws-sdk-ruby as a dependency (see: https://github.com/sharetribe/sharetribe/blob/master/Gemfile#L34).

    The aws-sdk-ruby needs a configuration file with the AWS credentials set in order to run. This file lives at ~/.aws/credentials and has this format:

    [default]
aws_access_key_id = YOUR_ACCESS_KEY
aws_secret_access_key = YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

    This has been documented on the README file here (https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-ruby#configuration) and also on this blog post: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/security/a-new-and-standardized-way-to-manage-credentials-in-the-aws-sdks.

    Initially, I could not replicate your problem because I do have that file present on my local machine. However, as soon as I delete the ~/.aws/credentials I’m able to replicate the issue.

    I had this problem, and solved it like so:

    In Storage.yml comment out the whole Amazon block, similar to how the google block is commented out.

    In production.rb config.active_storage.service = :local
