What are Integrations?

Integrations connect your exe.dev VM to other services securely and flexibly. They allow you to "inject secrets" on the network, so that those secrets cannot be extracted from the VM itself. Integrations are created with the integrations add command and attached to VMs with the integrations attach command.

You can manage integrations from the Integrations page in the web UI or via SSH.

There are currently three types of integrations:

HTTP Proxy Integration — inject headers into HTTP requests
GitHub Integration — work with private repos without managing tokens
Reflection — exposes VM metadata such as email, tags, comments, and attached integrations

Default integrations

New accounts get a default Reflection integration named reflection. It exposes all reflection fields and is attached with auto:all, so every VM can read its metadata from reflection.int.exe.xyz. Reinstall it from the Reflection tile on the Integrations page or with:

exe.dev ▶ integrations add reflection --name reflection --fields all --attach auto:all

See also: Attaching Integrations for how to connect integrations to your VMs using direct attachment, tags, or auto-attach.

Integrations connect your exe.dev VM to other services securely and flexibly.
They allow you to "inject secrets" on the network, so that those secrets cannot
be extracted from the VM itself. Integrations are created with the `integrations add`
command and attached to VMs with the `integrations attach` command.

You can manage integrations from the [Integrations page](/integrations) in the
web UI or via SSH.

There are currently three types of integrations:

- [HTTP Proxy Integration](integrations-http-proxy) — inject headers into HTTP requests
- [GitHub Integration](integrations-github) — work with private repos without managing tokens
- Reflection — exposes VM metadata such as email, tags, comments, and attached integrations
