Trixie

Trixie let you load 1password secrets as ENVs for your development environment

Usage

Initialize a .trixie.yml config file with:

trixie init

Then update it with a URI for you secret as op://<vault>/<item>[/<section>]/<field>, and the ENV your want, eg:

secrets:
  -  env: 'NPM_TOKEN'
     value: "{{ op://Developers/NPM_TOKEN/SETUP_SECRET/value }}"

Then you can run trixie load > .env.secrets to update your env file with the NPM_TOKEN.

Alternatively, you can also leverage the following environment variables:

  • TRIXIE_OP_ADDRESS - sets the authentication address for 1Password
  • TRIXIE_OP_EMAIL - sets the user email address for 1Password

Example:

  TRIXIE_OP_ADDRESS=https://{account}.1password.com \
  [email protected] \
  trixie load > .env.secrets

this will populate your env file with: export NPM_TOKEN={toptals-read-only-npm-token}

Groups

If you have multiple secrets you can declare groups, eg:

secrets:
  -  env: 'NPM_TOKEN'
     value: "{{ op://Developers/NPM_TOKEN/SETUP_SECRET/value }}"
     groups: [ dev ]
  -  env: 'MY_API_TOKEN'
     value: "{{ op://Developers/MY_API_TOKEN/SETUP_SECRET/password }}"
     groups: [ api ]
  -  env: 'MY_TEST_API_TOKEN'
     value: "{{ op://Developers/MY_TEST_API_TOKEN/SETUP_SECRET/password }}"
     groups: [ test ]

Then you could run trixie load --groups GROUP_NAME to select which group you want to fetch, eg: trixie load --groups api,test

Formats

Trixie also supports other formats as the output as json, pretty_json and sh (ENVs with export), eg:

# Load envs in the current shell session
eval $(trixie load --format sh)

# Handle your ENVs in JSON format
trixie load --format json | jq '.[0].value'

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'trixie'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install trixie

TODO IDEAS

  1. Support Multiple Backends/Password Managers, Trixie::Loader can be refactored to be an adapter for the op CLI
  2. Add a load --cache option, so fetched secrets could be retained for a while without using the Password Manager Backend

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
