Credentials

The resource reads a Unity Catalog volume over the Databricks SDK. It needs a workspace host plus one auth method: a personal access token, a config profile, or the SDK defaults (handy inside Databricks Apps).

1. Get Your Workspace Host

Your workspace URL, e.g. https://dbc-xxxxxxxx-xxxx.cloud.databricks.com (AWS) or https://adb-xxxxxxxxxxxx.xx.azuredatabricks.net (Azure).

2. Create a Personal Access Token

  1. In the workspace, open Settings -> Developer -> Access tokens.
  2. Click Generate new token, set a comment and lifetime, and copy it.

3. Set Environment Variables

# .env.development
DATABRICKS_HOST=https://dbc-xxxxxxxx-xxxx.cloud.databricks.com
DATABRICKS_TOKEN=dapi...

Alternatives

  • Config profile: add a profile to ~/.databrickscfg and pass profile="DEV" instead of host/token.
  • SDK defaults: omit host, token, and profile to fall through to the Databricks SDK default auth chain (for example inside Databricks Apps).
For Python configuration, see the Python Databricks Volume Setup guide.
