datasette-unsafe-expose-env

Datasette plugin to expose some environment variables at /-/env - for debugging

:warning: This plugin is no longer maintained. datasette-expose-env is recommended as a safe replacement that only exposes environment variables that you have explicitly configured.

Installation

Install this plugin in the same environment as Datasette.

$ datasette install datasette-unsafe-expose-env

Usage

Once installed, the plugin will show a list of environment variables at /-/env

It will redact the following variables by default:

• DATABASE_URL
• GPG_KEY
• DATASETTE_SECRET

You can configure an alternative set of redacted secrets in your metadata.yml configuration:

plugins:
  datasette-unsafe-expose-env:
    redact:
    - DATASETTE_SECRET
    - GPG_KEY
    - MY_OTHER_SECRET

Once again though: only use this plugin if you need it for debugging purposes and are absolutely certain it won't expose any valuable information. If in doubt, do not use this at all.

Development

To set up this plugin locally, first checkout the code. Then create a new virtual environment:

cd datasette-unsafe-expose-env
python3 -mvenv venv
source venv/bin/activate

Now install the dependencies and test dependencies:

pip install -e '.[test]'
