Sharing Config and Secrets with Projects

Jetify Projects are a great way to share configuration and secrets with your team. A project can store repository settings and secrets that are shared across all Cloudboxes and users in the project. For example, you can configure a project for a Backend API with the database parameters, API keys, and other secrets. When a user launches a Sandbox in the project, they will automatically have access to the project's configuration and secrets.

Creating a Project​

To create a project:

  1. Navigate to the Projects tab in the Jetify Dashboard
  2. Click on the Create New button on the top right corner of the page
  3. In the modal that appears, give the project a name, and then click "Create Project"
  4. In the new project, navigate to the Settings tab, and then click "Connect with Github" to connect the project to a Github repository
  5. Select the account and repository to link to the project.

Once the project is linked to a repository, developers can automatically create a new Sandbox for that repository by navigating to the project and clicking on the New Sandbox button.

Sharing Secrets across Sandboxes​

Jetify Projects can store secrets with Jetify Secrets that are shared across all Cloudboxes in the project. Cloudboxes will automatically use the dev namespace when accessing secrets.

To add a secret to a project:

  1. Navigate to the project in the Jetify Dashboard
  2. Click on the Secrets tab
  3. In the New Secrets form, provide a key and value for the secret, and then click "Add Secret"

Jetify will automatically add the secrets to any Cloudbox that is launched in the project. Note that if a Cloudbox is currently running when you add a secret, you will need to restart it to access the new secret.

For more information on managing secrets, see the Jetify Secrets guide.
