Hi. I'm also working on an E2E secrets manager. https://github.com/purton-tech/cloak

A few tips.

1. It looks like I'm able to do account enumeration on your login page. For a secure app you want to make sure this is not possible.

You want to take a look at Earthly. https://earthly.dev/

This gives you a mix of docker and a makefile.

The best bit is you can test your pipeline locally and you are vendor agnostic.

I'm using it here https://github.com/purton-tech/cloak

I commit to a github repo and that gets deployed to cloudflare pages. https://pages.cloudflare.com/

I use Zola the static site generator. My repo is here https://github.com/purton-tech/cloak/tree/main/www

You can see my migrations to switch on RLS here https://github.com/purton-tech/cloak/blob/main/db/migrations/20220808094314_tenancy_isolation.sql

Hi we are running selenium tests in our CI/CD pipeline.

We do actually generate a video of the tests running as an example see here https://github.com/purton-tech/cloak/actions/runs/2787628672

We're not using cypress we use webdriver connected to a selenium docker instance.

Is that something you can connect to?

I can give you a concrete example if that helps.

I looked at the "secrets automation" space and my background is cryptography and web development.

I'm a solo developer so when I look at a problem I have to make the solution small enough that I can actually build it.

I also have to have an idea about how I will get people to use my product i.e. marketing.

In my case 1Password raised 620million in funding based on their acquisition of Secretshub which for me proves there is a market in secrets automation for developers.

I looked at the secretshub product and I was confident I could build it better with easier to use encryption and make it open source.

As the market is developers I feel writing blog articles about software development will give me a route to market.

So I started about 4 months ago. The product is now here https://cloak.software and source code is here https://github.com/purton-tech/cloak

My first article about web development with rust has already had 16K views so I'm confident with the marketing approach. Now the hard works starts of turning visitors into paying users.

Hope this helps.

I've just launched an MVP for a solution to this problem. https://cloak.software/

I've been using Earthly for about 6 months.

Earthly uses Dockerfile style syntax so I don't have to learn a new language, I can leverage my existing knowledge.

Another advantage is that in Earthly I can run up a docker compose within my pipeline so that I have selenium, envoy and postgres running for integration testing.

You can see my integration tests here https://github.com/purton-tech/cloak/blob/main/Earthfile#L14...

Is that possible in dagger?

Cloudflare Tunnel - Excellent free option. Nicely integrates tunneling with the rest of Cloudflare's products, which include DNS and auto HTTPS. Client source code is Apache 2.0 licensed and written in Golang.

I run a RaspberryPi 3 with FreeBSD 13 booting off an SD card and a USB SSD for storage [1]. Coincidentally today (1/7/2024) is its one year anniversary.

It runs a jail with my single user GotoSocial ActivityPub server [2] reasonably well with cloudflared [3] handling incoming traffic and acting as CDN to take some of the load. Originally it was only using an SD card, but there was too much IO contention so a USB-SSD adapter is used to offload the IO.

I choose FreeBSD over Linux since I have other Rpis with Linux already and wanted more experience with *BSD, jails, and ZFS. Unfortunately ZFS wasn't the best choice on an Rpi since it's more cpu intensive and switched back to UFS.

Overall it's been solid, multiple GTS updates and have it on my list to update to FreedBSD 14 but not really in a rush.

Something like cloudflared would be awesome. https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflared

if you're on windows, you can install it with the exe: https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflared/releases/latest/download/cloudflared-windows-amd64.exe (or https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflared/releases/latest/download/cloudflared-windows-386.exe if your using 32bit windows.)

So, the "more than one" issue is kind of discussed HERE and HERE but for sure, for whatever reason, this caused me sleepless nights.

Anyway, here is the Github link for Cloudflared (aka Cloudflare Tunnel client) which should allow you to remotely tunnel into your Synology server instead of using the HTTP-based reverse proxying method: https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflared

As an alternative to traditional ingress, you can use cloudflared to expose web apps on Cloudflare via encrypted tunnels: https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflared
