Onedb hidden password

Community Support General

Hi,
I’m trying to automate opennebula DB backup. I was wondering if there is a way to load the credentials from some config file when using “onedb backup”. For the moment I know only the way of specifying the username/password on the command line and this is not very secure as password appears in process list and in the bash logs.

Thank you.

Hi,

The following patch to onedb enable using a shell variable named ONE_DB_PASSWORD for the database password:

                 passwd = get_password
             end

If this helps please open a feature request issue to move such patch upstream.
