HCP CLI

The hcp CLI lets you administer HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) resources and services. You can interact with hcp directly or integrate it in scripts to automate your workflows. The HCP CLI is available across most platforms and lets you efficiently execute common platform tasks and manage HCP resources at scale.

How to use this image

Interactively

The image can be used to run the hcp CLI interactively:

Non-interactively

To run non-interactively, the hcp CLI must be passed credentials as part of its invocation. As such a service principal must be used. There are two ways to pass the service principal credentials:

1. Using environment variables

The simplest way to pass the service principal credentials is to set them as environment variables:

2. Using a credential file.

The more secure option is to create a credential file containing the service principal credentials and mount it into the container. For details on creating a credential file, refer to the documentation or if using a Workload Identity Provider, see the create-cred-file command.

As an example, the following command creates a service principal and a credential file:

Once created, the credential file can be mounted into the container as follows:

The -v flag mounts the credential file into the container at /root/hcp/cred_file.json.

The -e flag sets the HCP_CRED_FILE environment variable to the path of the mounted credential file and instructs the hcp CLI to authenticate via the credential file.
