agenix-cli

This project provides a binary, agenix, intended for use with https://github.com/ryantm/agenix and aims to provide a more sophisticated replacement for the shell script version of agenix.

Configuration

For an example configuration, check out the .agenix.toml.example file.

The basic layout is one [identities] TOML table and one or many [[paths]] TOML array-of-tables. The [identities] table is essentially an association of identity names (which can be anything that TOML itself supports as a key) to its public key.

NOTE: The given name is only so that you can use multiple keys for multiple globs (mentioned below) without having to copy-paste the key everywhere -- it holds no other meaning.

The [[paths]] array-of-tables contains two keys: glob and identities. glob is a a path glob agenix uses to match against, and identities is an array of identities (either specified by a name that is then looked up in the [identities] table, or the public key itself).

Usage

Using agenix is as simple setting up a configuration and then running agenix [file].

NOTE: If the specified file exists and was previously encrypted to an age identity, you must use the -i/--identity flag to specify the private key associated with that identity; otherwise, agenix will be unable to decrypt the contents.
