sops-nix

Atomic secret provisioning for NixOS based on sops.

How it works

Sops-nix decrypts secrets sops files on the target machine to files specified in the NixOS configuration at activation time. It also adjusts file permissions/owner/group. It uses either host ssh keys or GPG keys for decryption. In future we will also support cloud key management APIs such as AWS KMS, GCP KMS, Azure Key Vault or Hashicorp's vault.

Features

• Compatible with all NixOS deployment frameworks: NixOps, nixos-rebuild, krops, morph, nixus
• Version-control friendly: Since all files are encrypted they can directly committed to version control. The format is readable in diffs and there are also ways of showing git diffs in cleartext
• Works well in teams: sops-nix comes with nix-shell hooks that allows quickly import multiple people to import all used keys. The cryptography used in sops is designed to be scalable: Secrets are only encrypted once with a master key instead of each machine/developer key.
• CI friendly: Since sops files can be added to the nix store as well without leaking secrets, machine definition can be build as a whole.
• Atomic upgrades: New secrets are written to a new directory which replaces the old directory in an atomic step.
• Rollback support: If sops files are added to Nix store, old secrets can be rolled back. This is optional.
• Fast: Unlike solutions implemented by NixOps, krops and morph there is no extra step required to upload secrets
• Different storage formats: Secrets can be stored in YAML, JSON or binary.
• Minimize configuration errors: sops files are checked against the configuration at evaluation time.

Demo

There is a configuration.nix example in the deployment step of our usage example.

Usage example

1. Install nix-sops

Choose one of the following methods:

niv (Current recommendation)

First add it to niv:

$ niv add Mic92/sops-nix

Than add the following to your configuration.nix in the imports list:

{
  imports = [ "${(import ./nix/sources.nix).sops-nix}/modules/sops" ];
}

nix-channel

As root run:

$ nix-channel --add https://github.com/Mic92/sops-nix/archive/master.tar.gz sops-nix
$ nix-channel --update

Than add the following to your configuration.nix in the imports list:

{
  imports = [ <sops-nix/modules/sops> ];
}

fetchTarball

Add the following to your configuration.nix:

{
  imports = [ "${builtins.fetchTarball "https://github.com/Mic92/sops-nix/archive/master.tar.gz"}/modules/sops" ];
}

or with pinning:

{
  imports = let
    # replace this with an actual commit id or tag
    commit = "298b235f664f925b433614dc33380f0662adfc3f";
  in [ 
    "${builtins.fetchTarball {
      url = "https://github.com/Mic92/sops-nix/archive/${commit}.tar.gz";
      # replace this with an actual hash
      sha256 = "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000";
    }}/modules/sops"
  ];
}

Flakes

If you use experimental nix flakes support:

{
  inputs.sops-nix.url = github:Mic92/sops-nix;
  # optional, not necessary for the module
  #inputs.sops-nix.inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
  
  outputs = { self, nixpkgs, sops-nix }: {
    # change `yourhostname` to your actual hostname
    nixosConfigurations.yourhostname = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
      # change to your system:
      system = "x86_64-linux";
      modules = [
        ./configuration.nix
        sops-nix.nixosModules.sops
      ];
    };
  };
}

2. Generate a GPG key for yourself

First generate yourself a GPG key or use nix-sops conversion tool to convert an existing ssh key (we only support RSA keys right now):

$ nix-shell -p ssh-to-pgp
$ ssh-to-pgp -private-key -i $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa | gpg --import --quiet
2504791468b153b8a3963cc97ba53d1919c5dfd4
# This exports the public key
$ ssh-to-pgp -i $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa -o $USER.asc
2504791468b153b8a3963cc97ba53d1919c5dfd4

If you get:

ssh-to-pgp: failed to parse private ssh key: ssh: this private key is passphrase protected

then your ssh key is encrypted with your password and you need to create an unencrypted copy temporarily:

$ cp $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa /tmp/id_rsa
$ ssh-keygen -p -N "" -f /tmp/id_rsa
$ ssh-to-pgp -private-key -i /tmp/id_rsa | gpg --import --quiet

The hex string printed here is your GPG fingerprint that can be exported to SOPS_PGP_FP.

export SOPS_PGP_FP=2504791468b153b8a3963cc97ba53d1919c5dfd4

If you have generated a GnuPG key directly you can get your fingerprint like this:

gpg --list-secret-keys --fingerprint
/tmp/tmp.JA07D1aVRD/pubring.kbx
-------------------------------
sec   rsa2048 1970-01-01 [SCE]
      9F89 C5F6 9A10 281A 8350  14B0 9C3D C61F 7520 87EF
uid           [ unknown] root <root@localhost>

The fingerprint here is 9F89 C5F6 9A10 281A 8350 14B0 9C3D C61F 7520 87EF, you need to remove the space in-between manually.

3. Get a PGP Public key for your machine

The easiest way to add new hosts is using ssh host keys (requires openssh to be enabled). Since sops does not natively supports ssh keys yet, nix-sops supports a conversion tool to store them as gpg keys.

$ nix-shell -p ssh-to-pgp
$ ssh root@server01 "cat /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key" | ssh-to-pgp -o server01.asc
# or with sudo
$ ssh youruser@server01 "sudo cat /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key" | ssh-to-pgp -o server01.asc
0fd60c8c3b664aceb1796ce02b318df330331003
# Or just read them locally (or in a ssh session)
$ ssh-to-pgp -i /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key -o server01.asc
0fd60c8c3b664aceb1796ce02b318df330331003

Also the hex string here is the fingerprint of your server's gpg key that can be exported append to SOPS_PGP_FP:

export SOPS_PGP_FP=${SOPS_PGP_FP}:2504791468b153b8a3963cc97ba53d1919c5dfd4

If you prefer having a separate GnuPG key, see Use with GnuPG instead of ssh keys.

4. Create a sops file

To create a sops file you need to set export SOPS_PGP_FP to include both the fingerprint of your personal gpg key (and your colleagues) and your servers:

export SOPS_PGP_FP="2504791468b153b8a3963cc97ba53d1919c5dfd4,2504791468b153b8a3963cc97ba53d1919c5dfd4"

sops-nix automates that with a hook for nix-shell and also takes care of importing all keys, allowing public keys to be stored in git:

# shell.nix
with import <nixpkgs> {};
mkShell {
  # imports all files ending in .asc/.gpg and sets $SOPS_PGP_FP.
  sopsPGPKeyDirs = [ 
    "./keys/hosts"
    "./keys/users"
  ];
  # Also single files can be imported.
  #sopsPGPKeys = [ 
  #  "./keys/users/mic92.asc"
  #  "./keys/hosts/server01.asc"
  #];
  nativeBuildInputs = [
    (pkgs.callPackage <sops-nix> {}).sops-pgp-hook
  ];
}

Our directory structure looks like this:

$ tree .
.
├── keys
│   ├── hosts
│   │   └── server01.asc
│   └── users
│       └── mic92.asc

After that you can open a new file with sops

nix-shell --run "sops secrets.yaml"

This will start your configured editor In our example we put the following content in it:

example-key: example-value

NOTE: At the moment we do not support nested data structures that sops support. This might change in the future. See also Different file formats

As a result when saving the file the following content will be in it:

example-key: ENC[AES256_GCM,data:7QIOMLd2kZkeVVpH0Q==,iv:ROh+J59ZM6BtjZLhRj1Ylk6ROEvsiX6/UR8obHX8YcQ=,tag:QOiFoHKyGFBkhr9lcWBB3Q==,type:str]

5. Deploy

If you derived your server public key from ssh, all you need in your configuration.nix is:

{
  imports = [ <sops-nix/modules/sops> ];
  # This will add secrets.yml to the nix store
  # You can avoid this by adding a string to the full path instead, i.e.
  # sops.defaultSopsFile = "/root/.sops/secrets.yaml";
  sops.defaultSopsFile = ./secrets.yaml;
  sops.secrets.example-key = {};
}

On nixos-rebuild switch this will make the key accessible via /run/secret/example-key:

$ cat /run/secret/example-key
example-value

/run/secret is a symlink to /etc/secret.d/1:

$ ls -la /run/secrets
lrwxrwxrwx 16 root 12 Jul  6:23  /run/secrets -> /run/secrets.d/1

Set secret permission/owner and allow services to access it

By default secrets are owned by root:root. Furthermore the parent directory /run/secrets.d is only owned by root and the keys group has read access to it:

$ ls -la /run/secrets.d/1
total 24
drwxr-x--- 2 root keys   0 Jul 18 15:35 .
drwxr-x--- 3 root keys   0 Jul 18 15:35 ..
-r-------- 1 root root  20 Jul 18 15:35 borgbackup

The secrets option has further parameter to change secret permission. Consider the following nixos configuration example:

{
  # Permission modes are in octal representation,
  # the digits reprsent: user|group|owner
  # 7 - full (rwx)
  # 6 - read and write (rw-)
  # 5 - read and execute (r-x)
  # 4 - read only (r--)
  # 3 - write and execute (-wx)
  # 2 - write only (-w-)
  # 1 - execute only (--x)
  # 0 - none (---)
  sops.secrets.example-secret.mode = "0440";
  # Either a user id or group name representation of the secret owner
  # It is recommended to get the user name from `config.users.<?name>.name` to avoid misconfiguration
  sops.secrets.example-secret.owner = config.users.nobody.name;
  # Either the group id or group name representation of the secret group
  # It is recommended to get the group name from `config.users.<?name>.group` to avoid misconfiguration
  sops.secrets.example-secret.group = config.users.nobody.group;
}

To access secrets each non-root process/service needs to be part of the keys group. For systemd services this can be achieved as following:

{
  systemd.services.some-service = {
    serviceConfig.SupplementaryGroups = [ config.users.groups.keys.name ];
  };
}

For login or system users this can be done like this:

{
  users.users.example-user.extraGroups = [ config.users.groups.keys.name ];
}

The following example configures secrets for buildkite, a CI agent the service needs a token and a ssh private key to function:

{ pkgs, config, ... }:
{
  services.buildkite-agents.builder = {
    enable = true;
    tokenPath = config.sops.secrets.buildkite-token.path;
    privateSshKeyPath = config.sops.secrets.buildkite-ssh-key.path;

    runtimePackages = [
      pkgs.gnutar
      pkgs.bash
      pkgs.nix
      pkgs.gzip
      pkgs.git
    ];

  };

  systemd.services.buildkite-agent-builder = {
    serviceConfig.SupplementaryGroups = [ config.users.groups.keys.name ];
  };

  sops.secrets.buildkite-token.owner = config.users.buildkite-agent-builder.name;
  sops.secrets.buildkite-ssh-key.owner = config.users.buildkite-agent-builder.name;
}

Symlinks to other directories

Some services might expect files in certain locations. Using the path option as symlink to this directory can be created:

{
  sops.secrets."home-assistant-secrets.yaml" = {
    owner = "hass";
    path = "/var/lib/hass/secrets.yaml";
  };
}

$ ls -la /var/lib/hass/secrets.yaml
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 40 Jul 19 22:36 /var/lib/hass/secrets.yaml -> /run/secrets/home-assistant-secrets.yaml

Different file formats

At the moment we support the following file formats: YAML, JSON, binary

NOTE: At the moment we do not support nested data structures that sops support. This might change in the future:

We support the following yaml:

key: 1

but not:

nested: 
  key: 1

nix-sops allows to specify multiple sops files in different file formats:

{
  imports = [ <sops-nix/modules/sops> ];
  # The default sops file used for all secrets can be controlled using `sops.defaultSopsFile`
  sops.defaultSopsFile = ./secrets.yaml;
  # If you use something different from yaml, you can also specify it here:
  #sops.defaultSopsFormat = "yaml";
  sops.secrets.github_token = {
    # The sops file can be also overwritten per secret...
    sopsFile = ./other-secrets.json;
    # ... as well as the format
    format = "json";
  };
}

YAML

Open a new file with sops ending in .yaml:

$ sops secrets.yaml

Than put in the following content:

github_token: 4a6c73f74928a9c4c4bc47379256b72e598e2bd3
# multi-line strings in yaml start with an |

  # yaml is the default 
  #sops.defaultSopsFormat = "yaml";
  sops.secrets.github_token = {
    format = "yaml";
    # can be also set per secret
    sopsFile = ./secrets.yaml;
  };
}

JSON

Open a new file with sops ending in .json:

$ sops secrets.json

Than put in the following content:

{
  "github_token": "4a6c73f74928a9c4c4bc47379256b72e598e2bd3",
  "ssh_key": "-----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----\\nb3BlbnNzaC1rZXktdjEAAAAABG5vbmUAAAAEbm9uZQAAAAAAAAABAAAAMwAAAAtzc2gtZW\\nQyNTUxOQAAACDENhLwQI4v/Ecv65iCMZ7aZAL+Sdc0Cqyjkd012XwJzQAAAJht4at6beGr\\negAAAAtzc2gtZWQyNTUxOQAAACDENhLwQI4v/Ecv65iCMZ7aZAL+Sdc0Cqyjkd012XwJzQ\\nAAAEBizgX7v+VMZeiCtWRjpl95dxqBWUkbrPsUSYF3DGV0rsQ2EvBAji/8Ry/rmIIxntpk\\nAv5J1zQKrKOR3TXZfAnNAAAAE2pvZXJnQHR1cmluZ21hY2hpbmUBAg==\\n-----END OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----\\n"

  sops.secrets.github_token = {
    format = "json";
    # can be also set per secret
    sopsFile = ./secrets.json;
  };
}

Binary

Unlike the other two formats for binaries one file correspond to one secret. This format allows to encrypt arbitrary binary format that can be not put into JSON/YAML files.

To encrypt an binary file use the following command:

$ sops -e /tmp/krb5.keytab > krb5.keytab
$ head krb5.keytab

It can be decrypted again like this:

$ sops -d krb5.keytab > /tmp/krb5.keytab

This is how it can be included in your configuration.nix:

{
  sops.secrets.krb5-keytab = {
    format = "binary";
    sopsFile = ./krb5.keytab;
  };
}

Use with GnuPG instead of ssh keys

If you prefer having a separate GnuPG key, sops-nix also comes with a helper tool:

$ nix-shell -p sops-init-gpg-key
$ sops-init-gpg-key --hostname server01 --gpghome /tmp/newkey
You can use the following command to save it to a file:
cat > server01.asc <<EOF

In this case you need to make upload the gpg key directory /tmp/newkey to your server.

TODO

Migrate from pass/krops

If you have used pass before i.e. in krops than you can use the following one-liner to convert all your secrets to a yaml structure.

$ for i in *.gpg; do echo "$(basename $i .gpg): |\n$(pass $(dirname $i)/$(basename $i .gpg)| sed 's/^/  /')"; done

Copy the output to the editor you have opened with sops.
