Merge sops secrets

These are command-line utilities that help with decrypting secrets via sops in the context of kubernetes and/or helm.

Prerequisites

• node.js with npx
  • npx shipped with node since version 8 I think, but version 12 or newer recommended
• sops command line tool
• valid AWS credentials configured (via env vars, profile, etc)

CLI Usage: merge-sops-secrets

merge-sops-secrets will enhance a helm chart values.yaml file with a bunch of extra data from encrypted sops files on disk.

npx --quiet --package @reactioncommerce/merge-sops-secrets --command merge-sops-secrets path/to/my/values.yaml

• Pass the path to your values.yaml file as the first command line argument

A final JSON document (which is also valid YAML) will be written to standard output. You can pipe this in to the helm CLI using /dev/stdin for the values path.

Data File Layout

This program expects your encrypted files:

• are in the same directory as your values.yaml
• Filename is MY_VAR.sops where MY_VAR is your environment variable name

Example

Chart.yaml
README.md
templates
templates/deployment.yaml
templates/service.yaml
values-acme-staging
values-acme-staging/AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID.sops
values-acme-staging/DATABASE_PASSWORD.sops
values-acme-staging/SAMPLE_API_KEY.sops
values-acme-staging/values.yml

CLI Usage: sops-to-secret

sops-to-secret will enhance a kubernetes secret.yaml file with a bunch of extra data from encrypted sops files on disk.

npx --quiet --package @reactioncommerce/merge-sops-secrets --command sops-to-secret path/to/secret-stub.yaml > path/to/secret.yaml

Data File Layout

This program expects your encrypted files:

• are in subdirectory named .sops from where your secrets-stub.yaml file lives
• Filename is MY_VAR.enc where MY_VAR is your environment variable name

Example

secret-stub.yaml
.sops/AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID.enc
.sops/DATABASE_PASSWORD.enc
.sops/SAMPLE_API_KEY.enc
