Simple Demo

1. Start by taking a look at the program in main.go. All it does is read a variable from the runtime environment and print its value:

$ cat main.go
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"os"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(os.Getenv("SUPER_SECRET_VARIABLE"))
}

1. Create a padl project to manage secrets for the program:

$ padl project create --name padl-demo --description "throwaway demo project"
project padl-demo initialized successfully!

1. Take a look at the padlfile, see that it has the project's shared key ID, as well the creator user's key ID:

$ cat .padlfile.yaml
data:
  project_id: padl-demo
  variables: {}
  keys:
  - e44148a0d66af9564d3f439b2cda1b81
  shared_key: b50656b2f58496b282972b43af613407

1. Add a secret to the padlfile with the name as expected in the program:

$ padl file secret set --name SUPER_SECRET_VARIABLE --secret "this is going to be encrypted shortly"
padlfile updated!

1. See that your padlfile now has an encrypted secret in it:

$ cat .padlfile.yaml
data:
  project_id: padl-demo
  variables:
    SUPER_SECRET_VARIABLE: |

1. Run the program with the padl run wrapper which decrypts padlfile secrets and loads them onto the environment of successive commands:

$ padl run go run main.go
this is going to be encrypted shortly

Success!
