  • vaultssh

    A small CLI wrapper for authenticating with SSH keys from Hashicorp Vault

  • That's the main selling point for certs. I use them in my homelab for the sole purpose of not keeping long-lived private keys on my machines. Is it unnecessary? Perhaps if you don't care about security, but for me, it's much easier to just copy my CA public key to all of my hosts and generate certs on the fly (I use vaultssh).
