Now let's verify the Doppler CLI was installed correctly.
doppler --version
Authentication
The Doppler CLI requires an API key for authentication. Access can be granted via the login flow for local development OR by using a service token. Service tokens should be used when running your service on a cloud provider (Azure, AWS, GCP, etc).
doppler login
doppler configure set token <SERVICE TOKEN>
# OR
# Auto-configure your Enclave project and config
doppler setup --token=<SERVICE TOKEN> --no-prompt
Authenticating multiple workplaces
The Doppler CLI supports multiple workplaces by allowing you to scope your login to a specific directory. Any applications inside your chosen directory (or its sub-directories) will automatically use the correct API key.
# authenticate your company's workplace
doppler login --scope ~/boring-apps/
# authenticate your side project's workplace
doppler login --scope ~/exciting-ideas/
Run your application
Whether developing locally or in prod, your can run your app via the doppler run command. This will execute your app with your latest secrets injected into the environment. It will use your current shell.
doppler run -- printenv DOPPLER_CONFIG
Running aliased commands
Running aliased commands is currently not supported. To use an alias, source your aliases file before executing your app.
doppler run --command="source ~/.bash_aliases && my_aliased_command"
Running an alternative shell
When using the --command flag, the Doppler CLI will determine what shell to use based on the SHELL environment variable. The CLI currently supports sh, bash, zsh, dash, fish, ksh, tcsh, and csh. If you are using an alternative shell, the CLI will fall back to sh. You can manually specify your preferred shell.
# e.g. use zsh2
doppler run -- zsh2 -c "printenv DOPPLER_CONFIG"
Update
The Doppler CLI supports updating itself via the doppler update command. This is currently only supported for installs completed via Brew, and will automatically update you to the latest version.
