Secrets

Secrets are special variables that are protected. Their values are never revealed in Kraken UI. They ar defined in projects. They can be added, modified and deleted on project web page, under Secrets tab.

New secret can be added by clicking New Secret button. The form in the center of the web page allows for providing secret details: a name of secret, a type and values. There are two types of secrets:

  • Simple secret - there is available just one simple secret value, it can be e.g. an access token
  • SSH Username and Key secret - there are two values: username and a protected key

When the secret is defined then it can be used in stage definition. They can placed in workflow schema using variable interpolation.

Example:

{
    ...
    steps: [{
        "tool": "git",
        "access-token": "gitlab_token",
        ...
    }]
}

or

    ...
    steps: [{
        "tool": "shell",
        "cmd": "echo $GITHUB_TOKEN",
        "env": {
            "GITHUB_TOKEN": "#{KK_SECRET_SIMPLE_github_token}"
    }],
