I created new repo using @amanvarshney01's Better-Stack just to try out the latest @varlockdev tool it already created the entire config for me 😭🔥
🧙♂️📈 onwards and upwards open sourcerers!
🧙♂️⭐️ Varlock inching towards 5k stars - thank you to all the new ones! First huge bump came from @syntaxfm (thanks @wesbos + @stolinski!) The current increase in slope is because I finally figured out how X works 😂
🧙♂️✨ CAST SUMMON SPELL
github.com/dmno-dev/varlo… Anyone from the @laravel space maybe want to weigh in on how to pull off proper @varlockdev integration? @taylorotwell ? They seem open to doing it right.
@JakeKing @bentlegen @Tailscale @ShopifyEng @mikesample @TorrieNaylor The eh team! 🍁
😍 varlock codegen for @EffectTS_ config! Stoked to see the codegen stuff I added enable new integrations from the community. @danmyles_ - should we migrate this into the monorepo? github.com/dan-myles/varl…
Sam, Dario, Elon, @theo and I (also Theo) think @varlockdev is cool as hell.
@theozero Wait this looks cool as hell. @jullerino have you seen this?
@theo @theozero @jullerino dude is late in the party, varlock just solves the env management for everything
@rbadillap @1Password What’s your app? It’s even better if you use our integrations and don’t even need to wrap with varlock run
@xmlking @voidzerodev 👆 happy to collab!
@infodusha @theozero I think you'll find our SSR story fairly complete and we're happy to fill any gaps
@xmlking @colinhacks @workflowsdk Glad to hear it!
Nothing solves env loading and validation better than Varlock. Nub v0.7 adds first-party support. If your repo contains an .env.schema file, Nub uses Varlock to load/validate your environment when running a file or script 👇
🛑 .env.example is an anti-pattern - copy-paste means it gets out of sync - mix of real values and placeholders - source of truth is scattered (real env file, validation code, usage sites, readme) - no way to understand which items are sensitive .env.schema is the answer!
Zod for env validation is a great pattern, and it's super nice to avoid env.d.ts generation I'm a huge Varlock fan though becuase Varlock solves a bunch of other problems beyond just validation. because it wraps your process, Varlock + .env.schema lets you specify LOADING config in addition to just variable validation. that's why its able to do things like stdio-level redaction, encryption, credential brokering, etc. Zod is just a library so it structurally can't do these things. I'd also argue from an API design standpoint that Varlock's DSL is strictly better than Zod as a mechanism for validation because it's so finely tuned to the kinds of values & validations you commonly need for env vars
@alexiskold my friends @varlockdev have the env var layer covered for those VMs and SDKs
If you have starred varlock already, what are you waiting for? Help us get to 5k ⭐️ 🧙♂️🔐❤️
varlock has to be the best OSS project ive run into in a whileee
@stolinski @dillon_mulroy See @theozero 's comments
@southpolesteve We did some experiments with api key rotation on sites that required logging in w passwords. The answer is have the harness control it and use tool calls, then make sure it’s scrubbed as well in whatever goes back to the model.
No need to fear Full Access for your agents. 1. Use macOS TCC (Transparency, Consent, and Control): lock down your agent’s harness so it cannot access your personal data & .app settings 2. Use @varlockdev to stop it getting at your project keys 3. Use @AutomicVault to stop it getting at your CLI tool credentials and to add granular access control for the rest of your dev-tool stack
@esthor @ImLunaHey @grok github.com/dmno-dev/varlo… If there's anything you'd like to see that's missing, just let us know!
@esthor @ImLunaHey @grok We'll soon add cross-device approvals to the proxy with as much granularity as you'd like. So picture an agent running on your machine (or in the cloud) and it only bugs you when it needs your Stripe key specifically to make a request to the refund endpoint.
