To securely use your secret key without directly embedding it in your script, you can utilize the built-in secret management features in BuildShip. Here are the steps you can follow:
1. Storing Secrets:
- BuildShip provides a method to securely store and manage your API keys and other sensitive information through its Secret Manager. You can store your API keys in the Secret Manager instead of hardcoding them in your script .
2. Accessing Secrets:
- You can then access these secrets in your node's code without exposing them directly. Here’s an example of how you might access a secret in your code:
- Ensure that you configure your environment variable (
- Ensure that you configure your environment variable (
MY_SECRET_API_KEY in this case) through the BuildShip's environment variable configuration .
3. Node Configuration:
When configuring your nodes, use the value expression editor to leverage variables and safeguard sensitive information using secret keys.
By following these steps and utilizing BuildShip's environment variables and secret management systems, you can keep your API keys secure and prevent them from being exposed in your script.
For more detailed information, you can refer to the BuildShip documentation on secrets and environment variables .
