Prerequisites:
Follow this guide to configure the Infisical CLI for each service that you wish to inject environment variables into; you’ll have to update the Dockerfile of each service.
Generate a machine identity for each service you want to inject secrets into. You can do this by following the steps in the Machine Identity guide.Set the machine identity client ID and client secret as environment variables
For each service you want to inject secrets into, generate the required INFISICAL_TOKEN_SERVICE_A and INFISICAL_TOKEN_SERVICE_B.# Example Docker Compose file
services:
web:
build: .
image: example-service-1
environment:
- INFISICAL_TOKEN=${INFISICAL_TOKEN_SERVICE_A}
api:
build: .
image: example-service-2
environment:
- INFISICAL_TOKEN=${INFISICAL_TOKEN_SERVICE_B}
Export shell variables
Next, set the shell variables you defined in your compose file. This can be done manually or via your CI/CD environment. Once done, it will be used to populate the corresponding INFISICAL_TOKEN_SERVICE_A and INFISICAL_TOKEN_SERVICE_B in your Docker Compose file.#Example
# Token refers to the token we generated in step 2 for this service
export INFISICAL_TOKEN_SERVICE_A=$(infisical login --method=universal-auth --client-id=<your-client-id> --client-secret=<your-client-secret> --silent --plain)
export INFISICAL_TOKEN_SERVICE_B=$(infisical login --method=universal-auth --client-id=<your-client-id> --client-secret=<your-client-secret> --silent --plain)
# Then run your compose file in the same terminal.
docker-compose ...
Generate service token
Generate a unique Service Token for each service.Feed service token to your Docker Compose file
For each service you want to inject secrets into, set an environment variable called INFISICAL_TOKEN equal to a unique identifier variable.In the example below, we set INFISICAL_TOKEN_FOR_WEB and INFISICAL_TOKEN_FOR_API as the INFISICAL_TOKEN for the services.# Example Docker Compose file
services:
web:
build: .
image: example-service-1
environment:
- INFISICAL_TOKEN=${INFISICAL_TOKEN_FOR_WEB}
api:
build: .
image: example-service-2
environment:
- INFISICAL_TOKEN=${INFISICAL_TOKEN_FOR_API}
Export shell variables
Next, set the shell variables you defined in your compose file. This can be done manually or via your CI/CD environment. Once done, it will be used to populate the corresponding INFISICAL_TOKEN
in your Docker Compose file.#Example
# Token refers to the token we generated in step 2 for this service
export INFISICAL_TOKEN_FOR_WEB=<token>
# Token refers to the token we generated in step 2 for this service
export INFISICAL_TOKEN_FOR_API=<token>
# Then run your compose file in the same terminal.
docker-compose ...
