Updating Secrets

To update a secret in NocoDB, you can use the nc-secret-mgr package. Follow the steps below to update a secret:

Using the Command Line Interface (CLI)

1. Install the nc-secret-mgr package if you haven't already. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:

   npm install -g nc-secret-mgr
   

2. Once the package is installed, you can update a secret by running the following command:

   NC_DB="pg://host:port?u=user&p=password&d=database" nc-secret-mgr update --prev <previous-secret> --new <new-secret>
   

   OR

   NC_DB="pg://host:port?u=user&p=password&d=database" nc-secret-mgr <previous-secret> <new-secret>
   

   Replace <previous-secret> with the name of the secret you used previously, and <new-secret> with the new value of the secret.

3. After running the command, the secret will be updated in NocoDB.

Using Executables

Alternatively, you can use the nc-secret-mgr executable to update secrets.

1. Download the nc-secret-mgr executable from the NocoDB website.

2. Run the executable using the following command:

   NC_DB="pg://host:port?u=user&p=password&d=database" ./nc-secret-macos-arm64 update --prev <previous-secret> --new <new-secret>
   

   Replace <previous-secret> with the name of the secret you used previously, and <new-secret> with the new value of the secret.

3. After running the command, the secret will be updated in NocoDB.
