Why need Connect Server, Why not directly to 1Password Server
Recently I used 1password secret automation service, and use docker to build "Connect Server" in my server
my question is: I can't understand why 1password secret automation need "Connect Server",...
Have not tried running this, as it is almost a deal breaker limitation for my use case.
@Joris_1P Reasoning seems a bit artificial, (esp. first 2p), with only a few(imho) useful IRL scenarios being runtime secrets or big enterprise, otherwise it forces you to maintain 2 extra nodes on infrastructure that you potentially don't even have(competing with SSM/GSM/??, if you do). There is also either leaving extra endpoint public, with extra cert management, or figuring out network peering for automation/using self-hosted runners.
Nevertheless, for anyone stumbling upon this - there is service-accounts beta in progress, which hopefully solves this for less-ops-overhead use cases. Now we just need a terraform module for that.
