Updating Secrets

To update a secret in NocoDB, use the nc-secret-mgr package. Do these steps:

Using the Command Line Interface (CLI)

1. If the nc-secret-mgr package is not installed, install it. Run this command in your terminal:

   npm install -g nc-secret-mgr

2. To update a secret, run this command:

   NC_DB="pg://host:port?u=user&p=password&d=database" nc-secret-mgr update --prev <previous-secret> --new <new-secret>

   OR

   NC_DB="pg://host:port?u=user&p=password&d=database" nc-secret-mgr <previous-secret> <new-secret>

   Replace <previous-secret> with the name of the secret that you used before. Replace <new-secret> with the new value of the secret.

3. The command updates the secret in NocoDB.

Using Executables

You can also use the nc-secret-mgr executable to update secrets.

1. Download the nc-secret-mgr executable from the NocoDB Github.

2. Run the executable with this command:

   NC_DB="pg://host:port?u=user&p=password&d=database" ./nc-secret-mgr-macos-arm64 update --prev <previous-secret> --new <new-secret>

   Replace <previous-secret> with the name of the secret that you used before. Replace <new-secret> with the new value of the secret.

3. The command updates the secret in NocoDB.

Note: All environment variables are supported, including NC_DB, NC_DB_JSON, NC_DB_JSON_FILE, DATABASE_URL, and DATABASE_URL_FILE. Use any of these variables to specify your database connection. You can also use the equivalent CLI parameters in this table.
