seccy

Seccy is a key-value server where the keys and values are stored in an encrypted datastore

This little thing was started from the https://gophercises.com/

Seccy exposes gRPC endpoints for setting values and getting a value for a key.

Protobuf client is stored in api/proto/seccy The protobuf generated client can be imported like so import "github.com/arnarpall/seccy/api/proto/seccy"

API client

Example client

  package main
  import (
    "fmt"
    
    "github.com/arnarpall/seccy/pkg/client"
  )
  
  func main() {
    client, err := client.New(":4040", logger)
    if err != nil {
       panic("unable to connect to server")
    }

    err = client.Set("this-is", "awesome")
    if err != nil {
      panic("unable to set key")
    } 
    val, err = client.Get("this-is")
    if err != nil {
      panic("unable to get key")
    }
    
    fmt.Print(v)
}

Server Development

The project is built using make and targets exist to build the cli and server as well as the protobuf definition.

Building with make

make cli will build the cli and place it under cmd/seccy-cli

make server will build the server and place it under cmd/seccy-service

make proto will build the protobuf definition under api/proto/seccy

Running the server

Tilt (preferred)

The project has comes with a simple Tiltfile that can deploy the server for development purposes. Tilt installation is available here

1. Make sure you have a kubernetes cluster up (kind, minikubet, e.t.c) and the kubeconfig exported export KUBECONFIG=/path/to/kubeconfig

2. Run tilt with tilt up this will deploy the helm cart to your local cluster

Tilt will port forward the seccy service to localhost:4040 locally so the accompanying CLI will work.

Local instance with make

A make target exists to run the server in for local development make run-server-dev this will start the server with a dummy file repository under /tmp/

Running the binary

In order to run the server 2 flags are a requirement, the path to the file store and the encryption key

cmd/seccy-service/seccy-service --encryption-key some-key --store-path /path/to/storefile

CLI

The project has a cli that can be used to interact with the seccy server run the binary from the cmd/seccy-cli/ directory
