        "input": [
            {
                "name": "my important secret file",
                "path": "/tmp/my-file.txt"
            },
            {

                "path": "./client.crt"
            }
        ],
        "output": [
            {
                "name": "my important secret file",
                "path": "/mnt/something.txt"
            },
            {
                "name": "client-cert",
                "path": "/opt/client.crt"
            }
        ]
    }
}

Configuration can be provided as a file (--config) or as base64 encoded environment variable (--config-env).

Secrets

Allows you to provide list of files which are uploaded as fly secrets using the following command

flyhelper secrets push

You can tehn run flyhelper in the Fly App container to turn the secrets provided in environment variables into files again.

flyhelper secrets pull

The Name values are used to produce secrets names e.g. my important secret file will turn into FLY_SECRET_MY_IMPORTANT_SECRET_FILE. The content of the file on Path will be base64 encoded an used as the value of the secret.

The tool will also upload the config.json into the secrets as FLY_HELPER_CONFG_ENV. This is then used by the flyhelper inside the app image to export the secrets to filesystem.
