(summon
summon is a command-line tool to make working with secrets easier.
It provides an interface for
- Reading a secrets.yml file
- Fetching secrets from a trusted store
- Exporting secret values to a sub-process environment
Install
Note installing summon alone is not sufficient; you need to also install a provider of your choice before it's ready for use.
Pre-built binaries and packages are available from GitHub releases
here.
Homebrew
brew tap cyberark/tools
brew install summon
Linux (Debian and Red Hat flavors)
deb and rpm files are attached to new releases.
These can be installed with dpkg -i summon.deb and
rpm -ivh summon.rpm, respectively.
Auto Install
Note Check the release notes and select an appropriate release to ensure support for your version of Conjur.
Use the auto-install script. This will install the latest version of summon.
The script requires sudo to place summon in /usr/local/bin.
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cyberark/summon/master/install.sh, bash
Manual Install
Otherwise, download the latest release and extract it to /usr/local/bin/summon.
Usage
By default, summon will look for secrets.yml in the directory it is
called from and export the secret values to the environment of the command it wraps.
Example
You want to run script that requires AWS keys to list your EC2 instances.
Define your keys in a secrets.yml file
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: !var aws/iam/user/robot/access_key_id
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: !var aws/iam/user/robot/secret_access_key
The script uses the Python library boto, which looks for AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY in the environment.
import boto
botoEC2 = boto.connect_ec2()
print(botoEC2.get_all_instances())
Wrap the Python script in summon:
summon python listEC2.py
python listEC2.py is the command that summon wraps. Once the Python program exits,
the secrets stored in temp files and in the Python process environment are gone.
Flags
summon supports a number of flags.
-
-p, --providerspecify the path to the provider summon should useIf the provider is in the default path,
/usr/local/lib/summon/you can just
provide the name of the executable. If not, use a full path. -
-f <path>specify a location to a secrets.yml file, default 'secrets.yml' in current directory. -
-D 'var=value'causes substitution ofvalueto$var.You can use the same secrets.yml file for different environments, using
-Dto
substitute variables. This flag can be used multiple times.Example
summon -D ENV=production --yaml 'SQL_PASSWORD: !var env/$ENV/db-password' deploy.sh -
-i, --ignoreA secret path for which to ignore provider errorsThis flag can be useful for when you have secrets that you don't need access to for development. For example API keys for monitoring tools. This flag can be used multiple times.
-
-I, --ignore-allA boolean to ignore any missing secret pathsThis flag can be useful when the underlying system that's going to be using the values implements defaults. For example, when using summon as a bridge to confd.
-
-e, --environmentSpecify section (environment) to parse from secret YAMLThis flag specifies which specific environment/section to parse from the secrets YAML file (or string). In addition, it will also enable the usage of a
common(ordefault) section which will be inherited by other sections/environments. In other words, if yoursecrets.yamllooks something like this:
common:
DB_USER: db-user
DB_NAME: db-name
DB_HOST: db-host.example.com
staging:
DB_PASS: some_password
production:
DB_PASS: other_password
Doing something along the lines of: summon -f secrets.yaml -e staging printenv, grep DB_, summon will populate DB_USER, DB_NAME, DB_HOST with values from common and set DB_PASS to some_password.
Note: default is an alias for common section. You can use either one.
View help and all flags with summon -h.
env-file
Using Docker? When you run summon it also exports the variables and values from secrets.yml in VAR=VAL format to a memory-mapped file, its path made available as @SUMMONENVFILE.
You can then pass secrets to your container using Docker's --env-file flag like so:
summon docker run --env-file @SUMMONENVFILE myorg/myimage
This file is created on demand - only when @SUMMONENVFILE appears in the
arguments of the command summon is wrapping. This feature is not Docker-specific; if you have another tools that reads variables in VAR=VAL format
you can use @SUMMONENVFILE just the same.
