doctl secrets get supports --kvs
Introduced 2026-09-18 · score 0.97
HOW TO USE IT
When you need a secret’s values as key-value pairs, run `doctl secrets get --region <region> --kvs <name>`. The `--kvs` flag reveals values as `KEY=VALUE` pairs; the release note says they print in alphabetical order.
doctl secrets get --region tor1 --kvs my-secretWHY THIS HELPS
Retrieve a secret’s values as key-value pairs for a development workflow.
REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITATIONS
- Version: v1.169.0
- <name> (required): Name of the secret container to retrieve.
- --region <region>: Region where the secret is stored; the example uses `tor1`.
- --kvs: Reveal secret values as `KEY=VALUE` pairs. Defaults to false.
- Prerequisite: Install and configure doctl to use the CLI.
- Output values are always printed in alphabetical order.
- Docs conflict: The current DigitalOcean command reference is generated for doctl v2.0.0, newer than the card’s v1.169.0. It says `--kvs` takes precedence over other flags, a behavior not documented in the v1.169.0 release note; that newer-version behavior is not included here.
