Encrypted plaintext password store
Project description
Sala lets you store passwords and other bits of sensitive plain-text information to encrypted files on a directory hierarchy. The information is protected by GnuPG’s symmetrical encryption.
Basic usage
Passwords are stored in a directory hierarchy, each file containing one secret.
Commands:
- sala init
Initialize a password store
- sala get FILE...
Read secret(s)
- sala set FILE...
Create or modify secret(s)
- sala FILE...
Read or modify, depending on whether the first file exists or not
For more information, see sala(1) and http://www.digip.org/sala/.
Installation
Install sala by invoking:
pip install sala
To install from source, invoke:
python setup.py install
Requirements:
Suggested packages:
pwgen: With the default configuration, if pwgen is installed, it’s used to suggest good passwords to the user
Development
The test suite is in the test/ directory. Use the run-tests.py script to run the test suite. For more info, invoke:
python run-tests.py --help
cram 0.5 or newer is required to run the tests. If coverage is installed, the script can also show test coverage.
The documentation is in the doc/ directory. To build a manpage and a HTML documentation page, invoke
make -C doc
in the top directory. Docutils 0.8 or newer is required.
