Installation

Available to download for free from here.

Setup AWS credentials

Currently it's required to have AWS credentials setup in your home path, same as for the AWS cli (more info here).

The default profile will be used, and those are the minimum IAM requirements:

[
  "secretsmanager:CreateSecret",
  "secretsmanager:DescribeSecret",
  "secretsmanager:GetSecretValue",
  "secretsmanager:ListSecretVersionIds",
  "secretsmanager:ListSecrets",
  "secretsmanager:PutSecretValue",
  "secretsmanager:UpdateSecret"
]

Development

Prerequisites:

• Go (latest version)
• Node.js >= 20 & NPM
• Wails

To run in live development mode, run wails dev in the project directory. This will run a Vite development server that will provide very fast hot reload of your frontend changes. If you want to develop in a browser and have access to your Go methods, there is also a dev server that runs on http://localhost:34115. Connect to this in your browser, and you can call your Go code from devtools.

Building

To build a redistributable, production mode package, use wails build.
