12 days agoHi rctneil, I’m really sorry to hear about your experience, and I completely understand your frustration. It sounds like you’ve been trying to get help for a while, and I apologize for the lack of response.
Let’s address your original question and see if we can get you the information you need.
Integrating 1Password with Rails Credentials
While 1Password doesn’t have direct, out-of-the-box integration with Rails Credentials, you can use 1Password to securely store your secrets and then manually or programmatically inject them into your Rails Credentials file.
Here’s a general approach to achieve this:
- Store Secrets in 1Password: Store your Rails secrets (e.g., API keys, database credentials) in 1Password as secure notes or items.
- Export Secrets: Use the 1Password CLI to retrieve these secrets. You can install the CLI by following the 1Password CLI documentation.
- Inject Secrets into Rails Credentials: Once you’ve retrieved the secrets using the CLI, you can write a script to inject them into your config/credentials.yml.enc file.
In the credentials file, you can then reference the retrieved secrets. - Automate the Process: You can automate this process by writing a script that retrieves the secrets from 1Password and updates the Rails credentials file as part of your deployment or development workflow.
Documentation
While there isn’t specific documentation for integrating 1Password with Rails Credentials, you can refer to the following resources for guidance:
