🔐 s5 - Safely Store Super Sensitive Stuff

s5 allows you to easily cipher/decipher content within your files. It is a cli tool that works on most platforms (Linux, Mac OS X, Windows, Freebsd and Solaris!)

Encryption backends supported

• AES - GCM (using hexadecimal keys >= 128b) (example usage)
• AWS - KMS (example usage)
• GCP - KMS (example usage)
• Hashicorp Vault - Transit secret engine (example usage)
• PGP (example usage)

TL:DR

Example using AES-GCM as the encryption backend

Binaries, DEB and RPM packages

For the following ones, you need to know which version you want to install, to fetch the latest available :

~$ export S5_VERSION=$(curl -s "https://api.github.com/repos/mvisonneau/s5/releases/latest" | grep '"tag_name":' | sed -E 's/.*"([^"]+)".*/\1/')

# Binary (eg: freebsd/amd64)
~$ wget https://github.com/mvisonneau/s5/releases/download/${S5_VERSION}/s5_${S5_VERSION}_freebsd_amd64.tar.gz
~$ tar zxvf s5_${S5_VERSION}_freebsd_amd64.tar.gz -C /usr/local/bin

# DEB package (eg: linux/386)
~$ wget https://github.com/mvisonneau/s5/releases/download/${S5_VERSION}/s5_${S5_VERSION}_linux_386.deb
~$ dpkg -i s5_${S5_VERSION}_linux_386.deb

# RPM package (eg: linux/arm64)
~$ wget https://github.com/mvisonneau/s5/releases/download/${S5_VERSION}/s5_${S5_VERSION}_linux_arm64.rpm

Examples

Render in-place

~$ cat example.yml
foo: {{ s5:8tceTb9yc0CBgEqrpw== }}

~$ s5 render aes --in-place example.yml

~$ cat example.yml
foo: bar

Render in a new file

~$ cat example.yml
foo: {{ s5:8tceTb9yc0CBgEqrpw== }}

~$ s5 render aes example.yml --output example-dec.yml

~$ cat example-dec.yml
foo: bar

Troubleshoot

You can use the --log-level debug flag in order to troubleshoot

~$ cat example.yml
foo: {{ s5:8tceTb9yc0CBgEqrpw== }}

~$ s5 --log-level=debug render aes example.yml

Develop / Test

If you use docker, you can easily get started using :

~$ make dev-env
# You should then be able to use go commands to work onto the project, eg:
~docker$ make fmt
~docker$ s5

This command will spin up a Vault container and build another one with everything required in terms of golang dependencies in order to get started.

Build / Release

If you want to build and/or release your own version of s5, you need the following prerequisites :

• git
• golang
• make
• goreleaser

~$ git clone [email protected]:mvisonneau/s5.git && cd s5

# Build the binaries locally
~$ make build

# Build the binaries and release them (you will need a GITHUB_TOKEN and to reconfigure .goreleaser.yml)
~$ make release

IDEs

We have modules/extensions for both atom.io and vscode
