A dive into secret management for c4c web-app
|
|
|
|
# HashiCorp vault
|
|
|
|
- `docker-compose.yml` -> `docker-compose.hashicorp.yml`
|
|
- Uses in-file store (maybe slow/unreliable!)
|
|
- Can be migrated to AWS in the future
|
|
|
|
- Pretty good cli experience
|
|
|
|
- You could try my (@Pegasust) deployment at [pegasust.com/vault](https://pegasust.com/vault)
|
|
- Log in with your GitHub account
|
|
(this is done with personal access token [docs](https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/auth/github))
|
|
- Make sure that you're in our change-for-change organization
|
|
- And also is in web-dev GitHub team
|
|
|
|
## Installing the CLI
|
|
|
|
See here [hashicorp's official installtion guide](https://developer.hashicorp.com/vault/downloads)
|
|
|
|
- You could also access the secrets with the web UI. But to streamline the env
|
|
exchange process, we should use the CLI
|
|
|
|
## Login as user (CLI)
|
|
|
|
`export VAULT_ADDR='https://c4c.pegasust.com'`
|
|
`vault login -method=github`
|
|
|
|
## Vault onto `.env*`
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
vault kv get --format=json path/to/secret | jq -r '.data|to_entries|map("\(.key)=\(.value|tostring)")|.[]'
|
|
# Likely
|
|
vault kv get --format=json secret/c4c-web-app | jq -r '.data|to_entries|map("\(.key)=\(.value|tostring)")|.[]'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Simple put-get-list
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# put
|
|
vault kv put path/to/secret hello="world"
|
|
# get
|
|
vault kv get path/to/secret hello
|
|
# list
|
|
vault kv get path/to/secret
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## `.env.*` onto Vault
|
|
|
|
- NOTE: This does not support syntax like `HELLO='WORLD'`. Everything must be
|
|
in the form of: `HELLO=WORLD`
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
vault kv put path/to/secret `cat .env`
|
|
# Likely
|
|
vault kv put secret/c4c-web-app `grep -v ^# .env`
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## About the `cubbyhole` secret engine
|
|
|
|
- It is per-token (that means per-auth) secret storage
|
|
- Can be used as secret manager
|
|
- Don't count on my deployment to be 100\% reliable!
