Terraform Provider Encrypted

Encrypt Your Terraform Secrets Easily

Terraform-provider-encrypted lets you manage encrypted files to store your Terraform secrets. (A bit like Chef's databags).

Usage

Installation

go install github.com/Scalingo/terraform-provider-encrypted

Generate an Encryption Key

To generate a new encryption key. You can use OpenSSL CLI:

openssl rand -hex 32 | tr '[a-z]' '[A-Z]'

The key must be 16, 24 or 32 bytes stored in hex format.

Configuration

To configure the provider you must give it an encryption key.

provider "encrypted" {
  key = var.encryptionkey
}

Datasource

This provider exposes a single resource: encrypted_file.

The resource can be used like this:

data "encrypted_file" "my_secret" {
  path         = "secrets/aws.json"
  content_type = "json"
}

This resource accepts the following parameters:

• path: Path to the encrypted file
• content_type: Format of the specified file (For now only "json" is supported)
• data_path: path to the root element

And has the following outputs:

• parsed: if the content is a map, the decrypted content will be there
• array: if the content is an array, the decrypted content will be there
• value: the decrypted file content

Utility

To create an encrypted file you can use our tool present in the cmd/encrypt package.

Installation

go install github.com/Scalingo/terraform-provider-encrypted/cmd/encrypt

Configuration:

The CLI is configured using environment variables:

• ENCRYPTION_KEY (required): Value of the encryption key
• EDITOR (optional, default: 'nvim') program used to edit the encrypted files

Usage:

encrypt path/to/my/file.json
