cargoship vault decrypt-file

Decrypts every registry credential in a config file, in place

Synopsis

Decrypts every encrypted registry credential FILE holds – each registry’s auth.user, auth.pass, auth.token and tls.ca – and writes the plaintext back to FILE, leaving comments, key order, and the rest of the document untouched. A field that is not encrypted is skipped. This is the inverse of ‘cargoship vault encrypt-file’, and leaves the credentials readable to anyone who can read the file.

cargoship vault decrypt-file FILE [flags]

Examples

# Decrypt every registry credential in a cluster configuration
$ cargoship vault decrypt-file ./cluster.yaml --vault-password-file ./vault-pass.txt

# Check that every encrypted credential decrypts, without writing plaintext to disk
$ cargoship vault decrypt-file ./cluster.yaml --vault-password-file ./vault-pass.txt --dry-run > /dev/null

# Decrypt a configuration encrypted to an age recipient
$ cargoship vault decrypt-file ./cluster.yaml --age-identity-file ./key.txt

# Decrypt one encrypted to an SSH public key, using the private key it pairs with
$ cargoship vault decrypt-file ./cluster.yaml --age-identity-file ~/.ssh/id_ed25519

# Rotate the password a whole configuration is vaulted with
$ cargoship vault decrypt-file ./cluster.yaml --vault-password-file ./old-pass.txt
$ cargoship vault encrypt-file ./cluster.yaml --vault-password-file ./new-pass.txt

Options

      --age-identity-file stringArray     Path to an age identity file holding the private keys that decrypt registry credentials, or to an SSH private key such as ~/.ssh/id_ed25519. A leading ~ is expanded to your home directory wherever the path comes from. Repeatable; also settable as age.identity_files in the cargoship config file, or as a single path in CARGOSHIP_AGE_IDENTITY_FILE.
      --age-recipient stringArray         A public key to encrypt registry credentials to: either an age recipient such as age1ql3z7hjy54pw3hyww5ayyfg7zqgvc7w3j2elw8zmrj2kg5sfn9aqmcac8p, or an SSH public key such as 'ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3Nza...'. Repeatable; also settable as age.recipients in the cargoship config file, or space-separated in CARGOSHIP_AGE_RECIPIENTS. Giving any recipient makes cargoship write age ciphertext instead of Ansible Vault.
      --age-recipients-file stringArray   Path to a file holding public keys, one per line, which may mix age recipients and SSH public keys; an authorized_keys file works as it is. A leading ~ is expanded to your home directory wherever the path comes from. Repeatable; also settable as age.recipients_files in the cargoship config file.
      --dry-run                           Print the resulting document to stdout instead of writing it back to FILE.
  -h, --help                              help for decrypt-file
      --vault-password-file string        Path to a file containing the Ansible Vault password. Falls back to the CARGOSHIP_VAULT_PASSWORD, then ANSIBLE_VAULT_PASSWORD, environment variable.

Options inherited from parent commands

      --log-file            Always write a full-verbosity debug log to a file, regardless of --log-level.
  -L, --log-format string   Select a logging format. Defaults to 'console'. Valid options are: 'console', 'json', 'dev'. (default "console")
  -l, --log-level string    Log level when running cargoship. Valid options are: warn, info, debug, trace (default "info")
      --no-color            Disable terminal color codes in logging and stdout prints.
