  • sops

    Simple and flexible tool for managing secrets

    You can also do some nice things with https://github.com/getsops/sops, I store encrypted password and secrets on git with sops, but I also use nix so I have near perfect integration with my services.

  • dotenv-expand

    Variable expansion for dotenv. Expand variables already on your machine for use in your .env file.

    Encrypting dotenv files is a thing, I would even say it has become popular!

  • agebox

    Age based repository file encryption gitops tool

    I use `age` and `agebox` (https://github.com/slok/agebox) but same idea. I set up pre-commit and post-pull hooks to encrypt and decrypt all the env files I use in docker compose.

  • direnv-x

    direnv extension that implements vault and multi env files support

    I made a direnv extension for that purposes.

    It loads env files and call hashicorp vault if the value is a secret.

    I find it pretty neat to have an env file that describes all environments variables.

    A pass extension for importing data from most existing password managers
