# mkpasswd [![](https://images.microbadger.com/badges/image/flyinprogrammer/mkpasswd.svg)](http://microbadger.com/images/flyinprogrammer/mkpasswd "Get your own image badge on microbadger.com")

Make it really simple to run the [mkpasswd](https://github.com/rfc1036/whois/blob/next/mkpasswd.c) tool from any host that can run docker.

## Usage:

#### Create password with SHA-512 encrpytion

```

$ docker run --rm -it flyinprogrammer/mkpasswd

Password:

$6$aEu1pEzAHXC6W$7jqA/ybnNyZem05RD9JJAYDw30YMH.tVepha2ecjARP5/h6Ee1KGez9P9Jl/wBGeAS8SBbi4x8OO98XwWZqoC.

```

#### Getting help

```

$ docker run --rm -it flyinprogrammer/mkpasswd -h

Usage: mkpasswd [OPTIONS]... [PASSWORD [SALT]]

Crypts the PASSWORD using crypt(3).

      -m, --method=TYPE     select method TYPE

      -5                    like --method=md5

      -S, --salt=SALT       use the specified SALT

      -R, --rounds=NUMBER   use the specified NUMBER of rounds

      -P, --password-fd=NUM read the password from file descriptor NUM

                            instead of /dev/tty

      -s, --stdin           like --password-fd=0

      -h, --help            display this help and exit

      -V, --version         output version information and exit

If PASSWORD is missing then it is asked interactively.

If no SALT is specified, a random one is generated.

If TYPE is 'help', available methods are printed.
