loadcredential

This is a simple python package for interfacing with systemd's LoadCredential mechanism. It allows reading secrets from the credentials directory, with a fallback on environment variables if needed.

Usage

Basic usage

from loadcredential import Credentials

credentials = Credentials()

secret1 = credentials["SECRET_1"]

Changes

v1.3 (2024-10-30)

• Add a fail_missing parameter to credentials.get_json, for a behavior similar to credentials[key]

v1.2 (2024-07-03)

• Use a tighter type for credentials.get returning str | T where T is the type of the default value, instead of str | None

v1.1 (2024-05-10)

• Added credentials.get(key, default=None) which returns a default value and does not raise an error when the key is absent
• Added credentials.get_json(key, default = None) which treats the imported secret as json data

v1.0 (2024-05-09)
