Author message:

This module is now under the @mapbox namespace: install @mapbox/decrypt-kms-env instead

decrypt-kms-env

decrypt-kms-env

Simple util for decrypting secure environment variables encrypted using KMS.

Install

Include decrypt-kms-env in your project's package.json.

From a Dockerfile/shell

Once installed, run your application in your Dockerfile prefixed:

RUN eval $(./node_modules/.bin/decrypt-kms-env) && npm start

Follows a simple convention whereby:

• Encrypted blobs are prefixed with secure:,
• When the output of decrypt-kms-env is passed to eval in a shell, values are decrypted in-place. Scrubbed debug output is provided so you can confirm env vars have been decrypted and set.

> eval $(./node_modules/.bin/decrypt-kms-env)
Decrypted SecureValueA=************1231
Decrypted SecureValueB=************913X

From JS/Lambda function

If you don't have access to a shell to set env vars before starting your app, you can run decrypt-kms-env via JS.

var dke = require('decrypt-kms-env');
dke(process.env, function(err, scrubbed) {
  if (err) throw err;
  // Values in process.env are now decrypted.
 
  // To debug use `scrubbed` instead of logging `process.env` directly.
  // console.log(scrubbed);
});

Our usage

We use this from within Docker containers to decrypt env vars encrypted via KMS.
