  • sops

    Simple and flexible tool for managing secrets

  • Title may be confusing so let me clarify. I often use a simple tool called sops made by Mozilla that is used to encrypt/decrypt yaml/json/text files with your gpg key. It works from the command line so if you invoke sops on and encrypted file it will decrypt it, open the decrypted version on a temp file (located in /tmp/ on your $EDITOR and then re-encrypt everything and delete the temp file once you close the $EDITOR.

  • ansible-vault-mode

    Minor mode for manipulating ansible-vault files

  • Probably a little more complicated than you had in mind, but there's a minor mode to open ansible's encrypted vaults which sounds as if it works very similar to sops.
