GoCD Encrypt Script written in Python

A simple script that takes some files from stdin and encrypts them against the GoCD API to return a gocd variable

General process:

• curl a payload against the API using user credentials
• Take note ofthe returned encrypted value
• Use the returned value within your pipeline as code

Given a file or string, encrypt a variable with a certain GoCD instance. Returns an encrypted base64 string to input into pipelines-as-code.

Installation:

We use a number of modules with this script so it's likely best to use the requirements.txt to install everything within a virtual env:

$ virtualenv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage:

# To encrypt a string:
python encrypt_variables.py --username <password> --password <password> --hostname <gocd server> --data <string>

# To encrypt a file:
python encrypt_variables.py --username <username> --password <password> --hostname <gocd server> --mode file --data <filename>

Contributing:

Python 2.7, use a virtualenv!

$ virtualenv venv

Conform to PEP8 standards, and lint against that.

TODO:

• Get this in a pipeline to stop pesky non-conforming commits occuring (CI)
• Allow config file (CI)
• Add support for directories, and writing of 'enrypted' files into a specific directory (Improvements)
• Add new 'prompt' parameter to allow password input (Improvements)

• Migrate to user input not variables
• Addition of cclick library to make it more native
