Important

A better version of this functionality is now included in the bws CLI. See: https://bitwarden.com/help/secrets-manager-cli/#run

bws-env

A wrapper script for bws, the Bitwarden Secrets Manager command-line utility, that injects secrets into a command.

Uses

Retrieve a secret from Bitwarden Secrets Manager

./bws-env.sh 'echo $SOME_VAR_FROM_BITWARDEN'

Note that we are using single-quotes to prevent the shell from expanding $SOME_VAR_FROM_BITWARDEN before bws-env.sh is called.

Inject secrets into a container

docker-compose.yml:

version: '3.3'
services:
  echo:
    image: alpine
    command: echo $SOME_VAR_FROM_BITWARDEN

./bws-env.sh 'docker-compose up -d'
