First and foremost thanks for your great work with terraform sops provider.
To reduce the risk of having files containing secrets keys around the filesystem I have
applied the patch suggested on getsops/sops#946. This patch
will allow exposing the SOPS secret key as an environment variable rather than a key
file, moreover will enhance the automation experience with GH actions or any other CI
tool. Because the sops PR 946 actually solves a big problem, I took the matter on my
own hands and compiled a sops from PR496 which includes the possibility to expose
the private key such as SOPS_AGE_KEY environment variable.
I have generated a new age key pair and exposed as:
Created a secret.yaml sops file and added some custom test secrets
with sops secret.yaml. This actually proves that SOPS_AGE_KEY works
as expected. However, when I tried to read those secrets from terraform
configured with sops provider I get this back.
│ Error: Error getting data key: 0 successful groups required, got 0
│
│ with data.sops_file.secrets,
│ on locals.tf line 2, in data "sops_file" "secrets":
│ 2: data "sops_file" "secrets" {
│
To me looks like the provider is not passing the SOPS_AGE_KEY variable.
But if I unset the SOPS_AGE_KEY and I use export SOPS_AGE_KEY_FILE="${PWD}/key.txt
everything works seamlessly and I'm able to read my secrets and create the resources
wanted.
Any idea would be really appreciated.
Best regards,
Phillip
