This script manages secrets in Google Cloud Platform’s Secret Manager. It can create, overwrite, and delete secrets based on the provided YAML configuration file and environment variables.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.6 or higher
• Google Cloud SDK installed and authenticated
• Necessary Python packages installed (google-cloud-secret-manager, python-dotenv, pyyaml)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/justin-napolitano/gcp-secret-creation.py.git
   cd your-repo-directory
   

2. Create a virtual environment and activate it:

   python -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows, use `venv\\Scripts\\activate`
   

3. Install the required packages:

   pip install google-cloud-secret-manager python-dotenv pyyaml
   

Setup

1. Create a .env file in the root directory with the following structure:

   PROJECT_NAME=your_project_name
   FAKE_MASTODON_USERNAME=fake_username
   FAKE_MASTODON_PASSWORD=fake_password
   

2. Create a secrets.yaml file in the root directory with the following structure:

   secrets:
     - id: "FAKE_MASTODON_USERNAME"
       env_var: "FAKE_MASTODON_USERNAME"
     - id: "FAKE_MASTODON_PASSWORD"
       env_var: "FAKE_MASTODON_PASSWORD"
   

Usage

The script provides several command-line arguments to control its behavior.

Arguments

• --url: Base URL for the API endpoint (default: http://localhost:8080)
• --test: Flag to delete secrets after testing
• --overwrite: Flag to overwrite existing secrets
• --delete: Flag to delete secrets specified in the YAML file
• --secrets-file: Path to the YAML file with secrets configuration (default: secrets.yaml)

Running the Script

1. Run the script without deleting or overwriting secrets:

   python your_script.py --secrets-file secrets.yaml
   

2. Run the script and delete secrets after testing:

   python your_script.py --secrets-file secrets.yaml --test
   

3. Run the script with the --overwrite flag to overwrite existing secrets:

   python your_script.py --secrets-file secrets.yaml --overwrite
   

4. Run the script to delete secrets specified in the YAML file:

   python your_script.py --secrets-file secrets.yaml --delete
   

Example

Here is an example of running the script to manage secrets:

python your_script.py --secrets-file secrets.yaml --overwrite --test
