Vault
Read KV secrets from HashiCorp Vault and merge them into the resolved config.
Configuration
Under Settings → External Resources → Add Resource → Vault:
text
Type : Vault
Address : https://vault.example.com
Mount : secret
Auth : token OR AppRole
Token : (when auth=token)
RoleID : (when auth=AppRole)
SecretID : (when auth=AppRole)- Address — the Vault server URL.
- Mount — the KV mount to read from (typically
secret). - Auth —
tokenfor a static Vault token, orAppRolefor aRoleID+SecretIDpair. AppRole is the recommended production setup because it rotates cleanly.
Both KV v1 and KV v2 are supported; pika detects the engine version from the mount and adjusts the API path automatically.
Inheritance entry
path is the secret path under the configured mount.
json
{
"resource": "vault",
"path": "myapp/db",
"paths": ["password"],
"inject": "database.password"
}If the Vault secret returns { "password": "hunter2", "host": "..." }, the resolved config gains { "database": { "password": "hunter2" } }.
See Inheritance for the full meaning of paths / inject.
