Environment Secrets Store¶
Class: EnvironmentSecretsStoreBlockV1
The Environment Secrets Store block is a secure and flexible solution for fetching secrets stored as environmental variables.
How This Block Works¶
It is designed to enable Workflows to access sensitive information, such as API keys or service credentials, without embedding them directly into the Workflow definitions.
This block simplifies the integration of external services while prioritizing security and adaptability. You can
use secrets fetched from environment (which can be set by system administrator to be available in self-hosted
inference server) to pass as inputs to other steps.
Credentials security
It is strongly advised to use secrets providers (available when running self-hosted inference server)
or workflows parameters to pass credentials. Do not hardcode secrets in Workflows definitions.
Blocks limitations
This block can only run on self-hosted inference server, we Roboflow does not allow exporting env
variables from Hosted Platform due to security concerns.
🛠️ Block configuration¶
Block has configuration parameter variables_storing_secrets that must be filled with list of
environmental variables which will be exposed as block outputs. Thanks to that, you can
use them as inputs for other blocks. Please note that names of outputs will be lowercased. For example,
the following settings:
variables_storing_secrets=["MY_SECRET_A", "MY_SECRET_B"]
-
my_secret_a -
my_secret_b
Type identifier¶
Use the following identifier in step "type" field: roboflow_core/environment_secrets_store@v1to add the block as
as step in your workflow.
Properties¶
| Name | Type | Description | Refs |
|---|---|---|---|
name |
str |
Enter a unique identifier for this step.. | ❌ |
variables_storing_secrets |
List[str] |
List with names of environment variables to fetch. Each will create separate block output.. | ❌ |
The Refs column marks possibility to parametrise the property with dynamic values available
in workflow runtime. See Bindings for more info.
