Load Secrets from 1Password - GitHub Action

The action to load secrets from 1Password Connect into GitHub Actions.

Specify right from your workflow YAML which secrets from 1Password should be loaded into your job, and the action will make them available as environment variables for the next steps.

Just like regular GitHub repository secrets, every secret from 1Password will automatically be masked from the GitHub Actions logs too. So if they accidentally get printed, they'll get replaced with ***.

Usage

on: push
jobs:
  hello-world:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Load secret
        uses: 1password/load-secrets-action@v1
        env:
          OP_CONNECT_HOST: <Your Connect instance URL>
          OP_CONNECT_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.OP_CONNECT_TOKEN }}
          SECRET: op://app-cicd/hello-world/secret
      - name: Print masked secret
        run: echo "Secret: $SECRET"
        # Prints: Secret: ***

Longer usage example

on: push
name: Deploy app

      - name: Configure 1Password Connect
        uses: 1password/load-secrets-action/configure@v1
        with:
          # Persist the 1Password Connect URL for next steps. You can also persist 
          # the Connect token using input `connect-token`, but keep in mind that 
          # every single step in the job would then be able to access the token.
          connect-host: https://1password.acme.com

      - name: Load Docker credentials
        uses: 1password/load-secrets-action@v1
        env:
          OP_CONNECT_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.OP_CONNECT_TOKEN }}
          DOCKERHUB_USERNAME: op://app-cicd/docker/username
          DOCKERHUB_TOKEN: op://app-cicd/docker/token

      - name: Login to Docker Hub
        uses: docker/login-action@v1
        with:
          username: ${{ env.DOCKERHUB_USERNAME }}
          password: ${{ env.DOCKERHUB_TOKEN }}

      - name: Print environment variables with masked secrets
        run: printenv

      - name: Build and push Docker image
        uses: docker/build-push-action@v2
        with:
          push: true
          tags: acme/app:latest

      - name: Load AWS credentials
        uses: 1password/load-secrets-action@v1
        with:
          # Remove local copies of the Docker credentials, which are not needed anymore
          unset-previous: true
        env:
          OP_CONNECT_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.OP_CONNECT_TOKEN }}
          AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: op://app-cicd/aws/access-key-id
          AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: op://app-cicd/aws/secret-access-key

      - name: Deploy app
        # This script expects AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY to be set, which was 
        # done automatically by the step above
        run: ./deploy.sh

1Password Connect

To use the action, you need to have a 1Password Connect instance deployed somewhere. To configure the action with your Connect URL and a Connect token, you can set the OP_CONNECT_HOST and OP_CONNECT_TOKEN variables.

If you're using the load-secrets action more than once in a single job, you can use the configure action to avoid duplicate configuration. Expand the usage snippet above to see an example of this.

Secrets Reference Syntax

To specify which secret should be loaded into which environment variable, the action will look for op:// reference URIs in environment variables, and replace those with the actual secret values.

These reference URIs have the following syntax:

op://<vault>/<item>[/<section>]/<field>

So for example, the reference URI op://app-cicd/aws/secret-access-key would be interpreted as:

Vault: app-cicd
Item: aws
Section: default section
Field: secret-access-key

Supported Runners

You can run the action on Linux and macOS runners. Windows is currently not supported.
