docker-php-tutorial VS Vault

I've started a series of tutorials on "Docker for PHP developers" some years ago and add new articles when I find the time. Each part "evolves" the codebase that I provide as a practical "working" example available at https://github.com/paslandau/docker-php-tutorial.

Docker is imho the way to go. Only downside for me is the file system performance on Mac and Windows compared to Linux. I've documented "our" setup in https://www.pascallandau.com/blog/docker-from-scratch-for-php-applications-in-2022/ which is part of a multi-part tutorial on "all things docker" for PHP devs => https://github.com/paslandau/docker-php-tutorial

All code samples are publicly available in my Docker PHP Tutorial repository on github. You find the branch with the final result of this tutorial at part-6-git-secret-encrypt-repository-docker.

In the latest part of my tutorial series on Docker for PHP developers I'm showcasing a setup for running Laravel on Docker: https://www.pascallandau.com/blog/run-laravel-9-docker-in-2022/

Deep and straight compose setup: https://github.com/paslandau/docker-php-tutorial there is a related series of blog posts somewhere.

HashiCorp Vault

For a more comprehensive and robust secret management solution, get your hands on tools like GCP Secret Manager, or HashiCorp Vault. They're like the security guards of your secrets, providing a safe house, access control, and keeping logs of who’s been snooping around.

HashiCorp Vault is a popular tool for managing secrets in Kubernetes clusters. It offers advanced features such as secure storage, encryption, dynamic secrets generation, and integration with Kubernetes through its Kubernetes authentication method.

So you've just bought a new platform tool? Maybe it's Hashicorp Vault? Snyk? Backstage? You’re excited about all of the developer experience, security and other benefits you're about to unleash on your company—right? But wait…

You seem to be looking for a cross-platform solution, and https://www.vaultproject.io/ provides just that. If everything was in AWS, AWS Secret Manager might be great, but imo Vault provides much better platform-agnostic capabilities.

> Refer to Build Certificate Authority (CA) in Vault with an offline Root for an example of using a root CA external to Vault.

Secret Management: Securely stores sensitive configuration data and secrets using tools like AWS Secrets Manager or HashiCorp Vault. Avoid hardcoding secrets in code or configuration files.

The author of this tool basically took the Shamir code from Hashicorp Vault, which is pretty mainstream. If you're looking for a solid implementation, I would start there[0]. I wouldn't use the Shamir code from this repo, as it's an old version of the vault code using field arithmetic that doesn't run in constant time.

Out of curiosity, what do you mean by this? cross-cluster? they already have HA: https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/blob/v1.14.1/website/cont...

while digging up that link, I also saw one named replication: https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/blob/v1.14.1/website/cont...
