Additionally, I followed the file backend methodology and it seems to have a bug:
## Create a keyring and add an entry using the variables above
kb <- keyring::backend_file$new()
## Prompt for the keyring password, used to unlock keyring
kb$keyring_create("somename")
## Prompt for the secret/password to be stored in the keyring
kb$set("servicename", username="user", keyring="somename")
will accept your password and the print the following message:
The 'system' keyring does not exist, enter a keyring password to create it:
so you enter another password for that, but now checking ~/.config/r-keyring/
I now have two keyrings, "somename" which has the "user" password in it, and "system" which has nothing in it and was created for no apparent reason, other than the package seems to think it should exist.
Thanks! The second issue seems like a bug indeed.
Wrt. to the first, that unfortunately won't work, because you cannot unlock the keyring from the app. Shiny server would need to be able to hold the unlock password.
I'm running shiny-server on CentOS and want to use the keyring package to store and access passwords.
Given that shiny apps run as
shiny
user, what is the process for initializing the keyring for shiny apps to utilize?Here's what I've tried so far:
shiny
user,keyring::key_set(service = 'svcname', username = 'username', keyring = 'system')
Now when I do this, it returns a message statingThe 'system' keyring does not exist, enter a keyring password to create it:
So I enter a password.The shiny app wants the password so the code for that in the app is:
keyring::key_get(service = 'svcname', username = 'username')
but this doesn't work. I get an error in the shiny app's log file which doesn't make any sense. I'm running key_get() and for some reason the error is about setting a password:When I attempt to just run
keyring::key_get('svcname', 'username')
as the shiny user in an interactive session, I can see that I'm getting a prompt to unlock the 'system' keyring by entering a password. Am I doing something wrong? Running the shiny apps my Mac this 'just works', but from within shiny-server on Linux not so much.
