Terminus Plugin that allows for manipulation of a simple secrets.json file for use with Quicksilver on Pantheon sites.
Adds a command 'secrets' to Terminus 1.x which you can use to add, fetch, remove and update. For a version that works with Terminus 0.x, see the 0.x branch.
Use as directed by Quicksilver examples.
Be aware that since this manages a simple json file in the network attached storage, filesystem synchronization operations will affect the secrets. You should not use this method if your use-case is to have different secrets in different environments. For that, or for secrets that are sensitive, we recommend Lockr.
This plugin writes entries into the file ~/files/private/secrets.json (NOTE: This refers to a different private directory than the private directory used to store your Quicksilver scripts!). This file is, naturally enough, a JSON file containing multiple keys that is not included in your project's source code. The terminus secrets script will fetch this file, modify is as requested, and then write it back to the Pantheon site.
Before this Terminus plugin can be used, the secrets.json file must be created in each environment. To create the file call the secrets set command and add a key. This will automatically create the file in that environment.
terminus secrets:set site.env key value
The secrets directory is not copied to test and live during deployments (as it is not tracked in the project repository); you must therefore individually set secrets on each environment where you would like them to be available.
Also, be aware that your secrets may be overwritten by filesystem sync operations. For instance, if you check the "pull files and database from Live" option when deploying to TEST, that will overwrite the TEST env with secrets (or a lack thereof) in LIVE. If you intend to use secrets.json for production, make sure you set the same file in all environments to avoid confusion.
You can create all your keys in the live environment and then Clone files to other environments to copy the keys.
For help installing, see Manage Plugins
Terminus now has plugin management built in to it.
terminus self:plugin:install pantheon-systems/terminus-secrets-plugin
mkdir -p ~/.terminus/plugins
composer create-project -d ~/.terminus/plugins pantheon-systems/terminus-secrets-plugin:~1
This plugin requires no configuration to use.
Write "value" into "key" in the "test" environment of "sitename".
terminus secrets:set site.env key value
Remove the secret "key" in the "test" environment of "sitename".
terminus secrets:delete site.env key
Show current value of "key" in the "test" environment of "sitename".
terminus secrets:show site.env key
Show all available keys in the "test" environment of "sitename"
terminus secrets:list site.env
You may pass the --file option to this terminus plugin to read/write keys to a file named something other than secrets.json; this can be exceedingly helpful when storing configuration keys that may differ between environments as this prevents your environment-specific files getting overwritten by database and file clone operations.

This plugin is compatible with both Terminus 1.x and Terminus 0.x. This works because Terminus 1.x searches for commandfiles in src/Commands, and Terminus 0.x searches in Commands. In general, Terminus plugins should only support one version of Terminus. It is recommended to use the branches 1.x and 0.x for this purpose. The exception to this rule is Terminus plugins that have been widely installed in Continuous Integration scripts via git clone without using a --branch designation. In that case, placing both versions on the same branch can be helpful in maintaining backwards compatibility with these scripts.
Run terminus list secrets for a complete list of available commands. Use terminus help <command> to get help on one command.
If you need multiple versions of a key for different environments or one for development and one for production add them all with a naming structure that helps when listing the keys
keyName_production: value
keyName_development: value
or
keyName_multiDevName: value
There is no arrays of keys in the json file so all keys are at the root.
