Slippard: Simple CLI key-value store, which uses your SSH key for encryption.

Slippard is designed to store text blobs against a key value, and to store the data in a secure, encrypted way.

Installation

If you have go installed, go get github.com/coljac/slippard/cmd/slpd@latest.

Download a binary from the Releases page and put in your path.

Usage

Slippard by default stores data in $HOME/.config/slippard/store.dat and encrypts/decrypts with $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.

Setting a key:

slpd set KEY=value or slpd set KEY value

Getting a key:

slpd get KEY

Finding a key:

slpd list, slpd list <string>

Getting all keys and values:

slpd dump

which returns

KEY1=value1
KEY2=value2
...

Keys are case sensitive.

Tags

If you specify a tag when setting, listing, or dumping keys, the action will be filtered by that tag. Tags are specified with the -t option. For instance, slpd set -t env KEY=VAL will mean that KEY is returned from slpd list -t env, but all other keys set without that tag will be omitted.

Configuration

The location of the key store can be overrided from the default of ~/.config/slippard/store.dat with the SLP_STORE_FILE environment variable. The SSH key can be overridden from the default of ~/.ssh/id_rsa with the SLP_KEY_PATH variable.

Examples

slpd list | fzf | xargs slpd get to fuzzy-find a key

export KEY=$(slpd get KEY) in .bashrc

export $(slpd dump| xargs) to add the whole keystore to the environment

TODOs

• Better help and options
• Linux package manager versions
