Path to private assets on Ruby on Rails

I have a PEM file that should be stored somewhere in my Ruby on Rails web app, and be referenced from the production.rb config file with the path, as per below.

APNS.pem = '/path/to/pem/file'

I want to keep this file private, so storing it in the assets folder is not a good idea. Where can I safely store it and what would be the path like?

You can place it anywhere in your app outside of public and assets and it will be inaccessable from the web. Placing it in config/ is a common option.

To build a path to the file, you would use Rails.root.join('config/file.pem')
