For many, Chef encrypted data bags are difficult to work with. This Summon provider allows you to use Summon + secrets.yml to improve your development workflow with encrypted data bags. Example Create an encrypted data bag with a PostgreSQL password. $ knife data bag create passwords postgres --secret-file encrypted_data_bag_secret { "id": "postgres", "value": "mysecretpassword" } Install Summon and this provider. Create a secrets.yml file. POSTGRES_PASSWORD: !var passwords/postgres/value Now you can inject the password into any process as an environment variable. Instead of dealing with the Data Bag API in your Chef recipe, you can just use ENV['POSTGRES_PASSWORD']. $ summon chef-client --once Once chef-client finishes, the password is gone, not left on your system. Configure Configuration of this provider is through environment variables: CHEF_NODE_NAME: The name of the node. (node_name in knife.rb) CHEF_CLIENT_KEY_PATH: The location of the file that contains the client key. (client_key in knife.rb) CHEF_SERVER_URL: The URL for the Chef server. (chef_server_url in knife.rb) CHEF_DECRYPTION_KEY_PATH: The location of the file that contains the decryption key. CHEF_SKIP_SSL: Skip SSL verification (for self-signed certs). Set to "1" to activate.
