[EN-C025-047] Docker-VPS Secrets Rotation Lab

  • Date: 2026-02-15
  • Language: EN
  • Category: Infra / Docker-VPS
  • Status: New

Overview​

Run a Docker-based VPS environment where credentials and tokens rotate automatically, with pre-checks and rollback gates.

Why now (Trend)​

  • GitHub Actions templates increasingly include short-lived credentials.
  • Reddit self-hosted operators are shifting from static .env secrets to automated rotation.

OpenClaw Implementation​

1) Config enablement​

  • Enable cron, exec, and message tools.
  • Add secure env vars for registry tokens and deployment API keys.

2) API and infra setup​

  • Use a secrets provider API (or internal endpoint) for pulling new secrets.
  • Store compose templates with variable placeholders only.
  • Maintain health endpoint per service (/healthz).

3) Operations​

  • Nightly cron: rotate secret in staging.
  • Validation sub-agent: run smoke tests + dependency checks.
  • If pass: rotate production + canary deploy.
  • If fail: rollback and notify with diff summary.

Multiple Agents Interaction Pattern​

  • Agent: coordinator
  • Sub-agent: staging validator
  • Sub-agent: production deploy watcher
