This guide explains how to set up and manage sensitive data for your Anya Core installation.

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.7 or higher

    pip install -r scripts/requirements.txt

Usage

The sensitive data management script provides three main commands:

1. Initial Setup

This will: - Create configuration directories - Generate secure secrets - Set up database credentials - Configure API keys - Set up email settings - Create environment variables

2. Update Configuration

python scripts/setup_sensitive_data.py update

This allows you to: - Update database credentials - Rotate API keys - Change email settings - Generate new secrets

3. View Configuration

To view current (non-sensitive) configuration: 

python scripts/setup_sensitive_data.py view

Configuration Storage

The script stores configuration in several locations:

  • ~/.anya/sensitive_config.yml: Non-sensitive configuration
  • ~/.anya/secrets.yml: Sensitive configuration (encrypted)
  • .env: Environment variables for your application

Security Best Practices

  1. Never commit sensitive files:
  2. .env
  3. secrets.yml

  4. Any files containing API keys or passwords

  5. Use environment variables in production

  6. Regularly rotate secrets and API keys
  7. Keep your configuration files secure
  8. Use strong passwords

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues:

  1. Check file permissions
  2. Verify Python version
