# Handle secrets
|
|
|
|
Two solutions exist, the first one using an unversioned file (see [Environment variables](../templating.md#environment-variables))
|
|
and the second using transformations (see [Store encrypted dotfiles](#store-encrypted-dotfiles)).
|
|
|
|
* [Store encrypted dotfiles](#store-encrypted-dotfiles)
|
|
* [Load passphrase from file](#load-passphrase-from-file)
|
|
|
|
## Store encrypted dotfiles
|
|
|
|
Here's an example of part of a config file to use gpg encrypted dotfiles:
|
|
```yaml
|
|
dotfiles:
|
|
f_secret:
|
|
dst: ~/.secret
|
|
src: secret
|
|
trans_read: _gpg
|
|
trans_read:
|
|
_gpg: gpg2 -q --for-your-eyes-only --no-tty -d {0} > {1}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The above config allows to store the dotfile `~/.secret` encrypted in the *dotpath*
|
|
directory and uses gpg to decrypt it when `install` is run.
|
|
|
|
Here's how to deploy above solution:
|
|
|
|
* import the clear dotfile (what creates the correct entries in the config file)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ dotdrop import ~/.secret
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* encrypt the original dotfile
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ <some-gpg-command> ~/.secret
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* overwrite the dotfile with the encrypted version
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ cp <encrypted-version-of-secret> dotfiles/secret
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* edit the config file and add the transformation to the dotfile
|
|
(as shown in the example above)
|
|
|
|
* commit and push the changes
|
|
|
|
## Load passphrase from file
|
|
|
|
Passphrase is retrieved using a script:
|
|
```yaml
|
|
variables:
|
|
gpg_password: "./get-password.sh"
|
|
trans_read:
|
|
_gpg: "gpg2 --batch --yes --passphrase-file <({{@@ gpg_password @@}}) -q --for-your-eyes-only --no-tty -d {0} > {1}"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Passphrase is stored in a file directly
|
|
```yaml
|
|
variables:
|
|
gpg_password_file: "/tmp/the-password"
|
|
trans_read:
|
|
_gpg: "gpg2 --batch --yes --passphrase-file <(cat {{@@ gpg_password_file @@}}) -q --for-your-eyes-only --no-tty -d {0} > {1}"
|
|
```
