This is a gem/shard/package/script for Ruby/Crystal/Node.js/PHP respectively that allows the loading of secure production-only secrets in Google Cloud Platform. Secrets are stored using the Cloud Metadata Service and are automatically loaded as environment variables. The goal of this project is to make loading secrets as easy in GCP as it is in AWS.

Add the following to your Gemfile:

gem 'gcp-secrets'

Run bundle install in the root of your project.

Add the following to your application.rb file if using Rails or otherwise add it somewhere that will run before any code that might need a production secret or environment variable:

require 'gcp-secrets'

That's it, you're done. You can manage your production-only secrets from https://console.cloud.google.com/compute/metadata. All metadata variables will be made accessible automatically via the ENV hash.

Add this to your application's shard.yml:

dependencies:
  gcp-secrets:
    github: sam0x17/gcp-secrets

Run shards install

Add the following somewhere in your app so that it will run before everything that might need to access a production secret or environment variable:

require "gcp-secrets"

That's it, you're done. You can manage your production-only secrets from https://console.cloud.google.com/compute/metadata. All metadata variables
will be made accessible automatically via the ENV hash.
