No RDS environ when using SSH on AWS EC2

I installed Django on AWS EC2 and everything is working fine.

When trying to run commands to administrate Django, I receive an error because I'm missing some environment variables.

Environnement details:

For instance, running this from ssh session will fail and say the key doesn't exist:

source /var/app/venv/*/bin/activate
python3


import os
   print(os.environ['RDS_DB_NAME'])

How can I get the env variables to be set and usable in SSH?

Note: When Django is run from the server everything works as expected and Django can access the DB, the goal is to be able to manually run commands.

Thank you

You have to manually load those env variables in EB, if you ssh to your instance:

export $(sudo cat /opt/elasticbeanstalk/deployment/env | xargs)
