Fetch SSM parameters and add them to .env file

ssmtoenv - SSM Parameter to .env File Utility

ssmtoenv is a command-line utility that allows you to fetch AWS Systems Manager (SSM) parameters and add them to a .env file. This tool is designed to simplify the process of retrieving and managing sensitive configuration parameters from AWS SSM Parameter Store and making them available for your applications in a local environment.

Usage

ssmtoenv --aws-access-key <AWS_ACCESS_KEY> --aws-secret-key <AWS_SECRET_KEY> [--session-token <SESSION_TOKEN>] [--prefix <PREFIX>] [--install-completion <SHELL>] [--show-completion <SHELL>] [--help]

Options

• --aws-access-key TEXT: AWS Access Key (required).
• --aws-secret-key TEXT: AWS Secret Key (required).
• --session-token TEXT: AWS Session Token (optional, defaults to "None").
• --prefix TEXT: SSM Parameter Store prefix (optional, defaults to "/cloudflaretunnel/").
• --install-completion [bash|zsh|fish|powershell|pwsh]: Install completion for the specified shell.
• --show-completion [bash|zsh|fish|powershell|pwsh]: Show completion for the specified shell, to copy it or customize the installation.
• --help: Show this message and exit.

How It Works

ssmtoenv interacts with AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store to retrieve configuration parameters based on the provided options. It then generates or updates a .env file with the retrieved parameters, making them available for your application to consume.

Installation

You can install ssmtoenv using pip, the Python package manager:

pip install ssmtoenv

Example

Suppose you have AWS SSM parameters with the prefix /myapp/ containing database credentials, and you want to add them to a .env file for your application to use. You can use the following command:

ssmtoenv --aws-access-key <YOUR_AWS_ACCESS_KEY> --aws-secret-key <YOUR_AWS_SECRET_KEY> --prefix /myapp/

This command will fetch all parameters under the /myapp/ prefix and update your .env file with the retrieved values.
