Interact with HashiCorp's vault, to securely use secrets from R. This package wraps the vault http API to allow secrets to be accessed from R. Secrets might be passwords, tokens, certificates or any other sensitive data.
Create a vault client with the vault_client
function:
vault <- vaultr::vault_client(login = TRUE)
## Verifying token
Interact with vault using this object:
vault$list("secret/database")
## [1] "admin" "readonly"
and read secrets with
vault$read("secret/database/admin")
## $value
## [1] "s3cret"
vault$read("secret/database/readonly", field = "value")
## [1] "passw0rd"
or set secrets with
vault$write("secret/webserver", list(password = "horsestaple"))
vault$read("secret/webserver")
or delete secrets with
vault$delete("/secret/database/readonly")
Install vaultr
from CRAN with
install.packages("vaultr")
To install our internally released version (which might be ahead of CRAN) via r-universe, use
install.packages(
"vaultr",
repos = c("https://vimc.r-universe.dev", "https://cloud.r-project.org"))
or install the bleeding edge with
remotes::install_gitub("vimc/vaultr", upgrade = FALSE)
