Encrypt Command

Encrypt all unencrypted secrets in the local directory.

kbc local encrypt [flags]

Or shorter:

kbc e [flags]

Unencrypted secrets are values of properties prefixed by # that have not been encrypted yet.

For example, {"#someSecretProperty": "secret value"}
will be transformed into {"#someSecretProperty": "KBC::ProjectSecure::<encryptedcontent>"}.

--dry-run : Preview all values that would be affected

Global Options

Let’s say you create a configuration for the MySQL extractor:

{
"parameters": {
"host": "our.mysql.server.dev",
"user": "keboola",
"#password": "super-secret"
}
}

The preview will look like this:

➜ kbc encrypt --dry-run
Plan for "encrypt" operation:
C main/extractor/keboola.ex-db-mysql/invoices
parameters.#password
Dry run, nothing changed.

The actual encrypt command:

➜ kbc encrypt
Plan for "encrypt" operation:
C main/extractor/keboola.ex-db-mysql/invoices
parameters.#password
Encrypt done.

And the configuration now looks like this:

{
"parameters": {
"host": "our.mysql.server.dev",
"user": "keboola",
"#password": "KBC::ProjectSecureKV::eJxLtDK2qs60MrIutrI0s1K695WJQWmhYOI9j2l/twSJl0/nsf6auv/Fs7n5VWvj+tbwvtyz/PSh30Jz8/Y2B0QyPDwteXK/3d7GN55b/y3rK+BbXLF1ne5sg6/Lja/vfzlT4TbvXfkFIuHL9DU0knh8yvedF0lXss60MgbaZQS0Kz01Tzc1L7mosqAkv8jM0NIgzdTU0NQw1cACpMoEqMrYyEop1cjM0DjZzNzE0tLYxNTQMtEw0dLYKCnN0sDS1DjV3EzJuhYAzUBL0A=="
}
