NAME: sops - sops - encrypted file editor with AWS KMS, GCP KMS, Azure Key Vault, age, and GPG support
USAGE:
sops is an editor of encrypted files that supports AWS KMS and PGP
To encrypt or decrypt a document with AWS KMS, specify the KMS ARN
in the -k flag or in the SOPS_KMS_ARN environment variable.
(you need valid credentials in ~/.aws/credentials or in your env)
To encrypt or decrypt a document with GCP KMS, specify the
GCP KMS resource ID in the --gcp-kms flag or in the SOPS_GCP_KMS_IDS
environment variable.
(you need to setup google application default credentials. See
https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/application-default-credentials)
To encrypt or decrypt a document with HashiCorp Vault's Transit Secret Engine, specify the
Vault key URI name in the --hc-vault-transit flag or in the SOPS_VAULT_URIS environment variable (eg.
https://vault.example.org:8200/v1/transit/keys/dev
where 'https://vault.example.org:8200' is the vault server, 'transit' the enginePath, and 'dev' is the name of the key )
environment variable.
(you need to enable the Transit Secrets Engine in Vault. See
https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/secrets/transit/index.html)
To encrypt or decrypt a document with Azure Key Vault, specify the
Azure Key Vault key URL in the --azure-kv flag or in the SOPS_AZURE_KEYVAULT_URL
environment variable.
(authentication is based on environment variables, see
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/go/azure/azure-sdk-go-authorization#use-environment-based-authentication.
The user/sp needs the key/encrypt and key/decrypt permissions)
To encrypt or decrypt using age, specify the recipient in the -a flag, or
in the SOPS_AGE_RECIPIENTS environment variable.
To encrypt or decrypt using PGP, specify the PGP fingerprint in the
-p flag or in the SOPS_PGP_FP environment variable.
To use multiple KMS or PGP keys, separate them by commas. For example:
$ sops -p "10F2...0A, 85D...B3F21" file.yaml
The -p, -k, --gcp-kms, --hc-vault-transit and --azure-kv flags are only used to encrypt new documents. Editing
or decrypting existing documents can be done with "sops file" or
"sops -d file" respectively. The KMS and PGP keys listed in the encrypted
documents are used then. To manage master keys in existing documents, use
the "add-{kms,pgp,gcp-kms,azure-kv,hc-vault-transit}" and "rm-{kms,pgp,gcp-kms,azure-kv,hc-vault-transit}" flags.
To use a different GPG binary than the one in your PATH, set SOPS_GPG_EXEC.
To select a different editor than the default (vim), set EDITOR.
