SecretVault 🔒

All-in-one solution for storing your Elixir application secrets inside the repository.

Features

• Standalone. No dependencies on external binaries.
• Secure. Uses aes256gcm cipher by default. Detects weak and similar passwords with mix scr.audit task.
• Developer friendly. You can use mix scr.* tasks to create or edit secrets in your favourit editor. Or you can use simple coreutils like mv, rm, cp.
• Easy to use. Documatation is rich, errors are descriptive and tutorials take no more than 5 minutes to read.
• Git friendly. SecretVault stores secrets in separate files, thus it is really easy to track in Git or any other VCS.
• Mix friendly. SecretVault enforces separation of secrets for different environments.
• Extensible. You can connect your own ciphers, vaults or key derivation functions.
• OTP Compatible. Uses modern OTP 24 key derivation functions, or fallbacks to elixir implementation on lower OTP versions.

Hacking

If you want to contribute to the project or just want to test it localy (not as a dependency), you'll need to create config/config.exs file with following content.

config :secret_vault, :secret_vault,
  default: [password: "Some super secret"]
