Scrt: A CLI secret manager for developers, sysadmins and DevOps (github.com)

I thought SOPS with age is what we were doing now. Do we need yet another tooling?

SOPS with Age is simple, and simple is good. I strongly recommend this approach.

SOPS is simple? You are kidding me. Pass from https://www.passwordstore.org/ fame is simple. SOPS is ultra-complicated for a security tool.

I dunno, it seems mostly simple to me.

You have a .sops.yaml with some Age public keys, and then you run “sops secrets.yml” to create an encrypted file.

Can you explain what you find complicated about sops? I've used it with ease for the last two years, both personally and professionally.

Possibly of interest to readers (but not directly competing) is securestore, our open-source, open-protocol, cross-language framework (cli tool + libraries) for securely storing secrets and programmatically retrieving them in production: https://neosmart.net/blog/securestore-open-secrets-format/

donet version: https://github.com/neosmart/SecureStore

rust version: https://github.com/neosmart/securestore-rs

(This one is production ready)

The latest release was June 2022 and the last non dependabot commit was March 2023, until new activity 4 days ago using AI. Why should anyone use this?

Looks like every other CLI manager I've ever seen. It says not ready for production use. What's different for this than the others?

I wonder what does the solution do differently than the rest of the CLI managers?

Dangerously close to "scrot" which is both an X11 screenshot tool and general slang for a screenshot.

Ive been working with Linux for 25ish years and have never heard of scrot. I think there's low probability of confusion lol.

Same. First time hearing about scrot.
