CI-Secret-Generator

This tool aims to automate the process of deployment of secrets to Bitwarden while also providing a platform to document the commands used to generate these secrets.

Args and config.yaml

The tool expects a configuration like the one below which specifies the mapping between the itemName+attributeName/attachmentName/fieldName and the command used to generate the secret. The output of the command is stored into Bitwarden as the contents of the field/attachment/password.

password is the only valid name which is accepted for an attribute

- item_name: first_item
  fields:
    - name: field1
      cmd: echo -n secret
  attribute:
    name: password
    cmd: echo -n new_password
- item_name: second_item
  fields:
    name: field2
    cmd: echo -n field2_contents

The above configuration tells the tool to use the following data to create two Bitwarden entries - 'first_item' and 'second_item'

• field1 of first_item would be secret, and the password of first_item would be new_password in Bitwarden with item-name first_item,

• field2 of second_item, would be field2_contents in Bitwarden with item-name second_item

Parameters can be passed in to decrease repetition in the configuration file by adding the params dictionary in the configuration file. E.g.:

- item_name: item$(cluster)$(env)
  fields:
    - name: field1
      cmd: echo "$(cluster) $(env)"
  params:
    cluster:
      - build01
      - build02
    env:
      - prod
      - staging

This would create four items with item names itembuild01prod, itembuild02prod, itembuild01staging, and itembuild02staging, and the corresponding field1 which would contain the output of the corresponding echo, where the $(paramname) would be replaced with the values of the corresponding paramname.

Run

$ echo -n "bw_password" > /tmp/bw_password

$ ci-secret-generator --bw-password-path=/tmp/bw_password --bw-user [email protected] --config <path_to_config.yaml>
