Python hvac cli wrapper: get kv from hashicorp vault by auth token or jwt.

Why

This tool helps when you don't have access to vanilla hashicorp vault binary and need only to retrieve kv from vault.

Usage

vault-get can be used to print kv secrets via token or jwt auth to stdout.

vault auth token

export VAULT_TOKEN=xxx
export VAULT_ADDRESS=https://vault.local

vault-get -a $VAULT_ADDRESS -m MyMountPoint -p my_secret_path -k my_secret_key
topsecret

jwt gitlab-ci

Check your vault authentication method to know auth path.

varables:
  CI_JWT_ROLE: role_gitlab_ci

job01:
  stage: test
  id_tokens:
    VAULT_ID_TOKEN:
      aud: $VAULT_ADDR
  before_script:
    - export MY_VALUE="$(vault-get -a $VAULT_ADDR -j $VAULT_ID_TOKEN -r $CI_JWT_ROLE -m MyMountPoint -p my_secret_path -k my_secret_key)"
  script:
    - echo $MY_VALUE

  -m MOUNT_POINT, --mount-point MOUNT_POINT

vault-get -m MyMountPoint -p my_secret_path -k my_secret_key

    Use $VAULT_ADDR and $VAULT_TOKEN to access vault and auth:
        vault-get -m MyMountPoint -p my_secret_path -k my_secret_key
    Use JWT auth method in gitlab-ci job:
        vault-get -a https://vault.local -j $CI_JOB_JWT -r role_gitlab_ci -m MyMountPoint -p my_secret_path -k my_secret_key
