page
======
password manager using age (https://age-encryption.org/) for encryption.
encrypted secrets are files in the $PAGE_SECRETS/ directory that are encrypted
using the $PAGE_RECIPIENTS age public key.
when opening/editing an encrypted secret the file is decrypted usingj
$PAGE_PRIVKEY to a temporary file which is then opened in $EDITOR. after
closing the temporary file the secret in $PAGE_SECRETS/ is replaced with the
updated encrypted secret.
since secrets are just plaintext files you can store whatever you want in them:
passwords, notes, etc.
when using the `open' subcommand an entry's content is copied to the clipboard
excluding any lines that start with a '#'.
building
----------
to build use make:
$ make
$ make install
to install page do a different prefix:
$ make PREFIX=$SOME_PREFIX install
usage
-------
usage: page [args]
where can be any of:
* help show help message
* ls list password entries
* open copy a password entry to the clipboard
* edit create/edit an entry using $EDITOR
* rm remove password entry
see `page -h' to read the help message for a specific subcommand.
environment
-------------
page's functionality can be configured via environment variables. the following
table lists environment variables and their defaults.
env | default
------------------|----------------------------------
$PAGE_PRIVKEY | $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/page/privkey
$PAGE_RECIPIENTS | $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/page/recipients
$PAGE_SECRETS | $XDG_DATA_HOME/page/secrets/
$PAGE_PRIVKEY holds a path to an age(1) private key.
$PAGE_RECIPIENTS contains the path to the associated age(1) public key.
$PAGE_SECRETS should point to a directory containing encrypted entries.
key setup
-----------
in order to start using page you must first generate an age keypair
($PAGE_PRIVKEY and $PAGE_RECIPIENTS). this can be done by using the `init'
subcommand:
$ page init
alternatively, you can install the age encryption tool and use age-keygen:
$ age-keygen -o $PAGE_PRIVKEY
Public key: age1[...]
copy the public key into the $PAGE_RECIPIENTS file (without the newline).
it is also recommended to lock down the permissions of these files:
$ chmod 0600 $PAGE_PRIVKEY
$ chmod 0644 $PAGE_RECIPIENTS
scripting
-----------
the contrib/ directory contains some scripts for working with page. feel free
to open a PR if you have a script using page that you'd like to share.
