Setec

Description

A simple system for managing secrets using AWS S3 and KMS.

Installation

Command Line Client

npm install -g setec

echo '{
    "s3-bucket": "my-bucket",
    "s3-prefix": "my-prefix"
}' > ~/.setec

In Your Project

npm install setec

Usage

Command Line

List secrets

setec list

Set the value of a secret

If the secret already exists, the value will simply be updated. If the secret doesn't exist, than a new object for the secret will be created in S3, a new key will be created to encrypt the plaintext, and a new AWS policy will be created to allow you to grant access to the secret.

setec set <key> <value>

Get the value of a secret

Will throw an error if the secret does not exist.

setec get <key>

In Your Project

I reccomend only setting secrets from the command line, and using the javascript client specifically to retrieve them at runtime.

const Setec = require('setec');

const secrets = new Setec({
    "s3-bucket": "my-bucket",
    "s3-prefix": "my-prefix"
});

secrets.get('database-password').then(dbPassword => {
    const db = new Database("user-not-a-secret", dbPassword);
});
