dworshak 1.2.21

Configuration and credential waterfall with user-in-the-loop prompting and CLI access.

Dworshak 🌊

dworshak is a cross-platform credential and config management solution. There are options to manage encrypted cresentials, store plaintext config to JSON, or to leverage traditional Pythonic .env files. dworshak is the CLI layer which allows your to edit and inspect values which you can also obtain programatically by using the wider dworshak ecosystem. The dworshak ecosystem is build to be a configuration and credential waterfall with user-in-the-loop prompting.

Quick Start

# Install the CLI (for most environments)
pipx install "dworshak[crypto]"

# Bootstrap the security layer
dworshak setup

# Register your API credential
dworshak secret set "rjn_api"  "username"

# -> You will then be prompted, 
#    with the input characters securely hidden.

# Alternatively, if you want to have the option to hide/show the secret value without introducing it to console history,
# use the web or gui input
dworshak prompt obtain secret "rjn_api" "password" --interface web 

TL;DR: Use dworshak to securely store and retrieve secrets, configs, and env values in scripts. Enjoy the Obtain pattern. Supports Termux, Alpine, macOS, Linux, Windows. Clean stdout means you can assign variables directly:

PORT=$(dworshak prompt obtain config myapp port -e)

🏗 The Ultimate Vision

To become a stable credential management tool for scripting the flow of Emerson Ovation data and related APIs, supporting multiple projects in and beyond at the Maxson Wastewater Treatment Plant.

Furthermore, we want to offer Python developers a seamless configuration management experience that they can enjoy for years to come, on all of their devices. We especially love unlocking superuser gains and rollout in Termux environments.

The Secret Sauce Behind dworshk-secret: Use Industry-standard AES (Fernet) encryption to manage a local ~/.dworshak/ directory which includes a .key file, a vault.db encrypted credential file, and a config.json file for controlling defaults.

🚀 Attributes

• Secure Vault: Fernet-encrypted SQLite storage for API credentials.
• Root of Trust: A local .key file architecture that works identically on Windows and Termux.
• CLI Entry: A typer-based interface for setup and credential management.

Bash Scripting

Use dworshak to prompt for Microsoft Fabric / Azure credentials

#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -euo pipefail

# Prompt human securely
SQL_PASSWORD=$(dworshak prompt ask \
  --message "Enter Fabric SQL password" \
  --hide --emit)

# Push into Azure Key Vault
az keyvault secret set \
  --vault-name my-fabric-vault \
  --name sql-password \
  --value "$SQL_PASSWORD"

echo "Secret stored in Azure Key Vault"

Use dworshak to prompt for AWS credentials

#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -euo pipefail

# 1. Human-friendly prompt
DB_PASSWORD=$(dworshak prompt ask \
  --message "Enter production DB password" \
  --hide --emit)

# 2. Push into AWS Secrets Manager
aws secretsmanager put-secret-value \
  --secret-id prod/db/password \
  --secret-string "$DB_PASSWORD"

echo "Secret stored in AWS Secrets Manager"

Recommended aliases:

alias dwobsec='dworshak prompt obtain secret'
alias dwobfig='dworshak prompt obtain config'
alias dwobenv='dworshak prompt obtain env'
