Envcredstash NPM

Load credstash secrets into environment variables.

This project is inspired by envconsul.

Installation

sudo npm i -g envcredstash

Usage

Start by storing some secrets with credstash as follows:

credstash put application/DB_PASSWORD my-db-password
credstash put application/MAIL_PASSWORD my-mail-password

Then you can run your application as follows:

envcredstash --prefix application/ -- myapplication

Example:

envcredstash --prefix application/ -- python -c "import os; print os.environ['MAIL_PASSWORD']"

my-mail-password

Running env:

envcredstash --prefix application/ -- env
DB_PASSWORD=my-db-password
MAIL_PASSWORD=my-mail-password

You can also print the variables with the export clause, this is useful to source:

source <(envcredstash --prefix application/ --export)

python -c "import os; print os.environ['MAIL_PASSWORD']"
my-mail-password
