gcloud config set account jfurtado141@gmail.com
gcloud config set project myimageupscaler-auth

# Verify access
gcloud secrets list

Common Issues

"Failed to fetch secret" Error

1. Check current project: gcloud config get-value project
2. Check current account: gcloud config get-value account
3. Switch to correct account/project (see above)

Wrong Project

The CLI might default to definya-447700. Always ensure you're on myimageupscaler-auth.

Service Account vs Personal Account

• Service account cloudstartlabs-service-acc@coldstartlabs-auth.iam.gserviceaccount.com does NOT have access to myimageupscaler-auth
• Use personal account jfurtado141@gmail.com for secret access
• Or use the service account key at ./cloud/keys/myimageupscaler-auth-6348371fe8c6.json:
  bashCopy

  gcloud auth activate-service-account --key-file=./cloud/keys/myimageupscaler-auth-6348371fe8c6.json
  

Deploy Flow

The deploy script (scripts/deploy/deploy.sh) fetches secrets in step 0:

1. Fetches myimageupscaler-api-prod → .env.api.prod
2. Fetches myimageupscaler-client-prod → .env.client.prod
3. Cleans up these files after deploy (success or failure)

Updating Secrets

# Update API secrets
gcloud secrets versions add myimageupscaler-api-prod --data-file=.env.api

# Update client secrets
gcloud secrets versions add myimageupscaler-client-prod --data-file=.env.client

Important: Always destroy older versions after adding a new one to avoid secret sprawl and reduce security risk:

# List versions to find the old one
gcloud secrets versions list myimageupscaler-api-prod

# Destroy the previous version (replace N with version number)
gcloud secrets versions destroy N --secret=myimageupscaler-api-prod --quiet

Service Account Key Location

Local keys available at:

• ./cloud/keys/coldstart-labs-service-account-key.json (Note: Does not have access to myimageupscaler-auth project)
• ./cloud/keys/myimageupscaler-auth-6348371fe8c6.json (myimageupscaler-auth project)

Important: The cloud/keys/ directory is gitignored. Never commit service account keys.
