duf VS Vault

Not sure these are really popular, but I cannot resist advertising a few utilities written in Go that I regularly use in my daily workflow:

- gdu: a NCDU clone, much faster on SSD mounts [1]

- duf: a `df` clone with a nicer interface [2]

- massren: a `vidir` clone (simpler to use but with fewer options) [3]

- gotop: a `top` clone [4]

- micro: a nice TUI editor [5]

Building this kind of tools in Go makes sense, as the executables are statically compiled and are thus easy to install on remote servers.

Somewhat related - `duf` is "a better `df` alternative":

I'm normally using duf but this looks pretty neat.

Otherwise the last option is to get the deb/appimage files from their official git repos or website, like for my use cases, MongoDB Compass (which was not officially maintained on flatpak) or duf (not available in Ubuntu repos)

duf

What cool CLI tools do you know, that are do something faster than regular commands, and do something useful? For example: https://github.com/muesli/duf.

duf - Disk Usage/Free Utility - a better 'df' alternative.

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...
