Fetch these files from immich-app/devtools to understand how they configure the GitHub Terraform provider:

1. WebFetch https://raw.githubusercontent.com/immich-app/devtools/main/tf/deployment/.env
2. WebFetch https://api.github.com/repos/immich-app/devtools/contents/tf/shared/modules/secrets/github-app - to find the files in this module
3. Then fetch the main .tf files in that github-app module

I need to see exactly how they set up the GitHub provider with the app credentials.

# Files in the GitHub App Secrets Directory

The directory `tf/shared/modules/secrets/github-app/` contains six Terraform configuration files:

1. **config.tf** (132 bytes) - Configuration definitions
2. **convert_cert.sh** (763 bytes) - Shell script for certificate conversion
3. **data.tf** (108 bytes) - Data source declarations
4. **outputs.tf** (723 bytes) - Output value definitions
5. **secrets.tf** (2,026 bytes) - Secrets management configuration
6. **variables.tf** (47 bytes) - Variable declarations

These files comprise a Terraform module for managing GitHub App secrets infrastructure.

# Complete .env File Contents

The webpage shows environment variable exports for a Terraform configuration, but this is **not a complete .env file**—it's a shell script fragment containing:

## Global Variables
- Cloudflare credentials (account ID, API token)
- PostgreSQL connection string for Terraform state
- GitHub App integration details (installation ID, app ID, PEM file, owner)
- 1Password Connect configuration (URL, token)
- Discord bot token
- Zitadel authentication profiles and OAuth credentials (GitHub, GitLab)
- Docker Hub username/password

## Environment-Specific Variables
- Grafana authentication (token, URL) using `$ENVIRONMENT` variable
- Discord server ID
- Environment designation

**Note:** This script exports variables prefixed with `op://` paths, indicating they're sourced from 1Password vaults rather than hardcoded values. A functional .env file would require these references to be resolved to actual secrets first.

# Terraform Configuration File

Based on the provided content, this is the **complete file contents**:

```hcl
terraform {
  required_providers {
    onepassword = {
      source  = "1Password/onepassword"
      version = "~> 2.0"
    }
  }
}
```

This Terraform configuration specifies a required provider dependency. The file declares that the 1Password provider (sourced from "1Password/onepassword") with version compatibility of 2.0 and above is needed for this infrastructure code.


content:
Based on the provided content, here is the complete file:

```
variable "app_names" {
  type = list(string)
}
```

This Terraform configuration file declares a single input variable named `app_names` that accepts a list of strings as its value. The variable definition includes the type constraint specifying it should contain string elements. No default value is provided, making this a required variable when the module is instantiated.

# Complete File Contents

The file shown contains two Terraform data source blocks for 1Password vault integration:

```hcl
data "onepassword_vault" "manual" {
  name = "tf_manual"
}

data "onepassword_vault" "tf" {
  name = "tf"
}
```

This configuration defines two separate data sources that reference 1Password vaults. The first data source, labeled "manual," points to a vault named "tf_manual". The second data source, labeled "tf," references a vault named "tf". These data sources would typically be used within a Terraform configuration to access secrets or credentials stored in those respective 1Password vaults during infrastructure provisioning.


content:
# Terraform Output Configuration File

The page content shows a complete Terraform configuration file with two output blocks:

**First Output Block - `original_pem_secrets`:**
This output exports original secrets containing PEM-formatted certificates. It iterates through `onepassword_item.manual` resources and extracts the `id` and `title` fields for each item. The output is marked as sensitive to prevent values from displaying in logs.

**Second Output Block - `certificates`:**
This output provides certificate details specifically for items with modified PEM values. It loops through `onepassword_item.converted` resources and retrieves five fields from the first section: PKCS1 and PKCS8 certificate formats, along with `app_id`, `installation_id`, and `owner` information. This output is also marked sensitive.

Both outputs appear to be part of a Terraform configuration that manages certificate transformations and storage within a 1Password integration system.

# Terraform Configuration for GitHub App Secrets Management

This Terraform file manages GitHub App credentials across two 1Password vaults using certificate conversion.

## Key Components

**Local Apps Configuration:**
The code transforms `var.app_names` into a standardized format, creating entries like `GITHUB_APP_APPNAME` for each application name provided.

**Manual Vault Items:**
Initial 1Password items are created in the "manual" vault as secure notes. Each contains placeholder fields for:
- PEM certificate (concealed)
- App ID
- Installation ID
- Owner

The configuration includes `ignore_changes` on the section to prevent Terraform from overwriting manually updated values.

**Certificate Conversion:**
An external bash script (`convert_cert.sh`) processes the PEM value from manual vault items, converting certificates into multiple formats.

**Converted Vault Items:**
Processed credentials are stored in the "tf" vault with both PKCS1 and PKCS8 certificate formats alongside other GitHub App metadata. This resource depends on the external data source completing conversion first.

## Summary

This workflow enables secure separation between manually-managed secrets and Terraform-managed converted formats, automating certificate transformation for GitHub App integration across infrastructure.

# Bash Script for PEM Key Format Conversion

This script converts RSA private keys between PKCS#1 and PKCS#8 formats.

## Complete Script Contents

```bash
#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -euo pipefail

INPUT=$(cat)
PEM_VALUE=$(echo "$INPUT" | jq -r '.pem_value')

if [ -z "$PEM_VALUE" ] || [ "$PEM_VALUE" = "CHANGE_ME" ]; then
  jq -n '{"pkcs1": "CHANGE_ME", "pkcs8": "CHANGE_ME"}'
else
  PKCS1=$(printf "%b" "$PEM_VALUE")

  # Validate PKCS#1 format
  echo "$PKCS1" | openssl rsa -check -noout >/dev/null 2>&1
  if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
    echo "Input PEM does not appear to be valid PKCS#1 format" >&2
    exit 1
  fi

  # Convert to PKCS#8
  PKCS8=$(echo "$PKCS1" | openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -inform PEM -outform PEM -nocrypt 2>/dev/null)
  if [ $? -ne 0 ] || [ -z "$PKCS8" ]; then
    echo "PKCS8 conversion failed" >&2
    exit 1
  fi

  jq -n --arg pkcs1 "$PKCS1
" --arg pkcs8 "$PKCS8
" '{"pkcs1": $pkcs1, "pkcs8": $pkcs8}'
fi
```

## Key Functions

The script reads JSON input, validates the PEM key format using OpenSSL, converts it to PKCS#8 encryption standard, and outputs both versions in JSON format.

Excellent! Now I have all the information. Let me provide you with a comprehensive summary of how immich-app/devtools configures the GitHub Terraform provider:

## GitHub Terraform Provider Setup Summary

Here's how immich-app/devtools configures the GitHub provider with app credentials:

### Architecture Overview

The setup uses a **two-vault 1Password integration pattern**:
1. **`tf_manual` vault** - Stores original GitHub App credentials manually
2. **`tf` vault** - Stores converted certificates in multiple formats

### Environment Variables (.env)
From the deployment configuration, the following GitHub App variables are exported:
- `TF_VAR_GITHUB_APP_INSTALLATION_ID` - Installation ID for the app
- `TF_VAR_GITHUB_APP_APPID` - App ID
- `TF_VAR_GITHUB_APP_PEM_FILE` - Path to PEM certificate file
- `TF_VAR_GITHUB_APP_OWNER` - GitHub owner/organization

These values are sourced from 1Password vaults using `op://` paths rather than hardcoded values.

### Terraform Module Structure

**Module Files:**
- `/tf/shared/modules/secrets/github-app/config.tf` - Declares 1Password provider requirement (v~2.0)
- `/tf/shared/modules/secrets/github-app/secrets.tf` - Main credential management logic
- `/tf/shared/modules/secrets/github-app/data.tf` - References to 1Password vaults (`tf_manual` and `tf`)
- `/tf/shared/modules/secrets/github-app/variables.tf` - Accepts `app_names` as input variable
- `/tf/shared/modules/secrets/github-app/outputs.tf` - Exports secrets and converted certificates

### Certificate Conversion Workflow

**How it works:**
1. Terraform reads GitHub App PEM certificates from the `tf_manual` 1Password vault
2. An external bash script (`convert_cert.sh`) validates and converts each PEM certificate:
   - Validates PKCS#1 format using `openssl rsa -check`
   - Converts to PKCS#8 format using `openssl pkcs8 -topk8`
3. Converted certificates (both PKCS#1 and PKCS#8 versions) are stored in the `tf` vault

**The convert_cert.sh script:**
- Reads JSON input with `pem_value` field
- Returns both PKCS#1 and PKCS#8 versions in JSON format
- Handles placeholder values ("CHANGE_ME") for incomplete credentials
- Uses `openssl` for all cryptographic operations

### Key Design Patterns

1. **Separation of Concerns** - Manual secrets are kept separate from transformed/processed versions
2. **Multiple Certificate Formats** - Provides both PKCS#1 and PKCS#8 for compatibility with different tools
3. **Ignore Changes** - The `tf_manual` vault items ignore section changes to prevent overwrites of manually-updated fields
4. **Sensitive Outputs** - All certificate and credential outputs are marked as sensitive to prevent leakage in logs

This approach allows Terraform to manage GitHub App credentials while leveraging 1Password for secure storage and automatic secret resolution.
