Feature: Use Google Application Default credentials
|
|
|
|
Google provide libraries to generate appropriate credentials with various
|
|
fallback sources. This change uses the library to generate our GCS client, which
|
|
allows us to make use of these extra methods.
|
|
|
|
This should be backward compatible with previous restic behaviour while adding
|
|
the additional capabilities to auth from Google's internal metadata endpoints.
|
|
For users running restic in GCP this can make authentication far easier than it
|
|
was before.
