Open WieeRd opened 10 months ago

Thinking-in-Progress. Everything is subject to change.

What to Include

Command prefix
Color palette for embeds
Initial / extra cogs
Bot token
Database login
API keys

Secret Management Candidates

Raw value
Environment variable
Run command e.g. Bitwarden CLI
Separate secrets.toml
- Could use Sops in this case

Schema

prefix = ["%", "ㅅ"]

[palette]
info = 0x0000FF
warn = 0x00FF00
error = 0xFF0000

[token]
env = "BOT_TOKEN"

Tasks

[ ] Choose secret management method
[ ] Design TOML schema
[ ] Implement config.py

One way of solving internal bikeshedding is to support all 3 options.

[token]
# only one key can be specified
value = "{TOKEN}"
env = "BOT_TOKEN"
command = ["bw", "get", "notes", "ClockBot"]

I should consider:

Giving the environment variable a default name BOT_TOKEN
Removing .envrc from the repository
