This is an outdated tool

This tool can only work with 1Password CLI version 1 and does not do all the cool things it could do. I will post an update with the correct version sometime soon.

Set environment variables with 1Password CLI

Why

Secrets, password, access keys are not safe to store in plain text on your computer or server. While 1Password can help you in many cases, it doesn't have access to control environment variables.

How

ope uses op to store and retrieve secrets and jq to process and extract them. Written in Bash

    Usage:
    ope <env> <command> [args]

    Where
      - <env> is item with 'environment' variables section
      - <command> [args] is command with arguments you want to run

ope requires specially created item which has section named environment. In that section you define variables. Each field name and value will be variables name and value. Once all variables are read they are exported to child process where <command> is executed.

Example

ope opetest env | grep OP_ENV
Enter the password for user user@domain.com at domain.1password.com:
OP_ENV2=test value 2
OP_ENV1=test value 1

Config file

Config file is simple JSON file located in $HOME/.operc

{
"domain": "<domain>",
"vault_title": "<v_title>",
"item_title": "<i_title>",
"env": "<env_name>"
}

or

{
"domain": "<domain>",
"vault_uuid": "xxx",
"item_uuid": "xxx",
"env": "<env_name>"
}

Where:

• domain is what you use to op signin <domain>
• vault_title is the title of the vault where item is located
• vault_uuid is the UUID of the vault where item is located (overrides vault_title, if both present)
• item_title is title of the item with "environment" section
• item_uuid is UUID of the item with "environment" section (overrides item_title, if both present)
• env is any arbitrary string you want to name your environment

Using titles instead of UUIDs is a little bit slower but has better readability

TODO

• create items from the tool itself
• ask again for failed password
• use already authenticated session
