DotCloud

DotCloud is a simple cloud hosted .env management solution that would help you reduce the risk of manually handling sensitive keys.

The Reason

• Have you faced issues in managing your .env variables?
• Are you risking exposing sensitive keys to other contributors or interns at your organisation?
• Do you need to temporarily provide access to certain key to someone?
• Do you need a solution where you don't need to migrate your .env variables as you jump across hosting?
• Would you like a place where you can manage all your .env varibles of all projects in one place?

DotCloud is a simple solution to all the aforementioned problems.

Usage

Make sure you create a account in DotCloud API. This can be achieved via:

• Setting up DotCloud API on your own custom server, source code can be found here
• Running our Postman Collection and creating your project, refer here

If you have your .env in the following way

myKey=12345
myKey1=54321

Obtain your project token from DotCloud API after creating a project.

To get a single key

const dotCloud = require("dotcloud").init(
  "8880c820-af4b-4554-83c4-4ed4e97e0436", // Token
  "projectName" // Your Project Name
);

async function getKey() {
  const data = await dotCloud.fetchKey("myKey");
  return data;
}

getMyKey(); // Return the value of the key, i.e: 12345

To fetch all the keys of the project

const dotCloud = require("dotcloud").init(
  "8880c820-af4b-4554-83c4-4ed4e97e0436", // Token
  "projectName" // Your Project Name
);

async function getKeys() {
  const data = await dotCloud.fetchAllKeys();
  return data;
}

const keys = getKeys();

console.log(keys.myKey) // Prints 12345 
console.log(keys.myKey2) // Prints 543210

Custom DotCloud Domain

If you have set-up DotCloud on your own servers, you can pass the url like the following.

const dotCloud = require("dotcloud").init(
  "8880c820-af4b-4554-83c4-4ed4e97e0436", // Token
  "projectName" // Your Project Name,
  "https://dotcloud.benro.tech" // Custom DotCloud API Server setup. (Optional)
);
