Secrets Management

Cloudflare Workers

Set secrets using Wrangler CLI:

# Interactive
wrangler secret put R2_ACCOUNT_ID

# From stdin
echo "your-value" | wrangler secret put R2_S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID

# For specific environment
wrangler secret put R2_ACCOUNT_ID --env production

List existing secrets:

wrangler secret list

GitHub Actions

Add secrets in repository settings:

1. Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions
2. Click New repository secret
3. Add each required secret

Use in workflows:

env:
  R2_ACCOUNT_ID: ${{ secrets.R2_ACCOUNT_ID }}
  R2_S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID: ${{ secrets.R2_S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID }}
  R2_S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: ${{ secrets.R2_S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY }}

Firebase Configuration

Service Account Setup

1. Go to Firebase Console → Project Settings
2. Navigate to Service Accounts tab
3. Click "Generate new private key"
4. Save the JSON file securely

Using Service Account

Node.js:

export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=./serviceAccount.json

Cloudflare Workers:

Extract values from JSON and set as secrets:

# Extract from serviceAccount.json
PROJECT_ID=$(jq -r '.project_id' serviceAccount.json)
CLIENT_EMAIL=$(jq -r '.client_email' serviceAccount.json)
PRIVATE_KEY=$(jq -r '.private_key' serviceAccount.json)

# Set as secrets
wrangler secret put FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID <<< "$PROJECT_ID"
wrangler secret put FIREBASE_CLIENT_EMAIL <<< "$CLIENT_EMAIL"
wrangler secret put FIREBASE_PRIVATE_KEY <<< "$PRIVATE_KEY"

Validation

The service validates configuration on startup:

[upload-service] Starting...
[upload-service] R2 Account ID: abc***
[upload-service] R2 Bucket: my-storybooks-production
[upload-service] Firebase Project: my-firebase-project
[upload-service] ✓ Configuration valid
[upload-service] Listening on port 3000

Missing required variables cause startup failure:

[upload-service] Error: Missing required environment variable: R2_ACCOUNT_ID

Next Steps

• Deployment - Deploy the service
• API Reference - Endpoint documentation
• Authentication - API key setup
