DockerSecretsProvider
=====================

[](#dockersecretsprovider)

`DockerSecretsProvider` is a [Pimple](https://pimple.symfony.com/) [ServiceProvider](https://pimple.symfony.com/#extending-a-container) to manage sensitive data with [Docker secrets](https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/secrets/), mostly useful for [Silex](https://silex.symfony.com/) based applications.

Docker 1.13 provides secrets in swarm mode.

You can use secrets to manage any sensitive data which a Docker container needs at runtime but you don't want to store in the image or in source control, such as:

- Usernames and passwords
- TLS certificates and keys
- SSH keys
- Other important data such as the name of a database or internal server
- Generic strings or binary content (up to 500 kb in size)

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Create the secret, using `docker` CLI

```
echo -n "This is a secret" | docker secret create my_secret_data -
```

Note the `-n` parameter with echo; this is necessary to suppress the trailing newline character. If you don't do this, your value is not correctly encoded.

Mount it into container, this example is for `docker-compose` or `docker stack deploy`

```
version: "3.1"

services:
  app:
  ...
    secrets:
      - my_secret_data
...
secrets:
  my_secret_data:
    external: true
```

In development mode, you may use [`file:`](https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/#secrets%5D) directive to use secrets without swarm:

```
secrets:
  my_secret_data:
    # for local development, use from local file
    file: my_secret_data.secret
```

Require the library

```
composer require glen/docker-secrets-provider
```

Map the secret in Pimple container

```
$app->register(new DockerSecretsProvider(array(
   'my_secret_data' => 'my.secret',
)));
```

This would make `$app['my.secret']` read as `"This is a secret"`

In case of nested structure (`$app['option']['key']`), the value can be callback, to allow assigning value to sub-keys.

Here's example using [saxulum/saxulum-doctrine-mongodb-odm-provider](https://packagist.org/packages/saxulum/saxulum-doctrine-mongodb-odm-provider):

```
$this->register(new DockerSecretsProvider(array(
    'mongodb' => function ($secretReader, $app) {
        // make copy for later assignment,
        $options = $app['mongodb.options'];

        // make as function to avoid loading secret to memory before it's use is needed
        $app['mongodb.options'] = function () use ($secretReader, $options, $app) {
            $options['options']['password'] = $secretReader();

            return $options;
        };
    },
)));
```

To avoid `Indirect modification of overloaded element`, the value needs to be made copy and assigned again:

```
// yields "Indirect modification of overloaded element" notice:
$app['mongodb.options']['options']['password'] = 'secret';

// workaround for above problem:
$options = $app['mongodb.options'];
$options['options']['password'] = 'secret';
$app['mongodb.options'] = $options;
```
