### Install python-dotenv-vault library

Source: https://github.com/dotenv-org/python-dotenv-vault/blob/master/README.md

This command installs the `python-dotenv-vault` library using pip, the Python package installer. It's the first step to integrate the library into your project.

```shell
pip install python-dotenv-vault
```

--------------------------------

### Set DOTENV_KEY environment variable on server

Source: https://github.com/dotenv-org/python-dotenv-vault/blob/master/README.md

This command demonstrates how to set the `DOTENV_KEY` environment variable on a server, using Heroku as an example. This key is crucial for decrypting the `.env.vault` file at runtime.

```shell
heroku config:set DOTENV_KEY=<key string from .env.keys>
```

--------------------------------

### Sync .env file with dotenv-vault (vault managed)

Source: https://github.com/dotenv-org/python-dotenv-vault/blob/master/README.md

This command initiates the synchronization of your `.env` file with the dotenv-vault service. It's part of the vault-managed approach, offering features like backups and secure sharing.

```shell
npx dotenv-vault push
```

--------------------------------

### Encrypt environment variables for deployment with dotenv-vault

Source: https://github.com/dotenv-org/python-dotenv-vault/blob/master/README.md

This command encrypts your local environment variables and creates a `.env.vault` file along with a `.env.keys` file. The `.env.vault` file contains the encrypted secrets ready for deployment.

```shell
npx dotenv-vault local build
```

--------------------------------

### Build .env.vault with multiple environments (vault managed)

Source: https://github.com/dotenv-org/python-dotenv-vault/blob/master/README.md

This command builds the `.env.vault` file, incorporating configurations for multiple environments when using the vault-managed approach. It prepares the encrypted secrets for deployment across different stages.

```shell
npx dotenv-vault build
```

--------------------------------

### Open dotenv-vault UI for environment management

Source: https://github.com/dotenv-org/python-dotenv-vault/blob/master/README.md

This command opens the dotenv-vault user interface, providing a convenient way to manage multiple environments. It's part of the vault-managed approach for centralized configuration.

```shell
npx dotenv-vault open
```

--------------------------------

### Load .env variables in Python application

Source: https://github.com/dotenv-org/python-dotenv-vault/blob/master/README.md

This Python code demonstrates how to load environment variables from the `.env` file into your application using `load_dotenv()` from `dotenv_vault`. It should be called early in your application's bootstrap process.

```python
import os
from dotenv_vault import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()  # take environment variables from .env.

# Code of your application, which uses environment variables (e.g. from `os.environ` or
# `os.getenv`) as if they came from the actual environment.
```

--------------------------------

### Rebuild .env.vault for multiple environments (locally managed)

Source: https://github.com/dotenv-org/python-dotenv-vault/blob/master/README.md

After creating environment-specific `.env` files (e.g., `.env.production`), this command rebuilds the `.env.vault` file to include these new configurations. This ensures all environment settings are properly encrypted.

```shell
npx dotenv-vault local build
```

--------------------------------

### Define production environment variables in .env.production

Source: https://github.com/dotenv-org/python-dotenv-vault/blob/master/README.md

This snippet illustrates how to define production-specific environment variables in a `.env.production` file. This approach allows for managing different configurations for various deployment environments locally.

```shell
# .env.production
S3_BUCKET="PRODUCTION_S3BUCKET"
SECRET_KEY="PRODUCTION_SECRETKEYGOESHERE"
```

--------------------------------

### Access DOTENV_KEY for vault-managed environments

Source: https://github.com/dotenv-org/python-dotenv-vault/blob/master/README.md

This command allows you to access the `DOTENV_KEY` associated with your vault-managed environments. This key is essential for decrypting the `.env.vault` file on your servers.

```shell
npx dotenv-vault keys
```

--------------------------------

### Access loaded environment variables in Python

Source: https://github.com/dotenv-org/python-dotenv-vault/blob/master/README.md

After loading environment variables, this Python snippet shows how to access them using `os.getenv()`. This allows your application to retrieve configuration values as if they were set in the system's environment.

```python
import os
s3_bucket = os.getenv("S3_BUCKET")
print(s3_bucket)
```

--------------------------------

### Define environment variables in .env file

Source: https://github.com/dotenv-org/python-dotenv-vault/blob/master/README.md

This snippet shows how to define environment variables in a `.env` file. These variables are typically used for development settings and are loaded by `python-dotenv-vault`.

```shell
S3_BUCKET=YOURS3BUCKET
SECRET_KEY=YOURSECRETKEYGOESHERE
```
