✨ pgagroal-vault ✨

okay so bestie, listen — this is the manual page for pgagroal-vault(1) from the General Commands Manual, and it's lowkey one of the cutest little servers in the whole pgagroal family. let's get into it 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

pgagroal-vault — a simple vault that hosts an HTTP server to handle user frontend password requests 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

pgagroal-vault [ -c CONFIG_FILE ] [ -u USERS_FILE ]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so pgagroal-vault is a basic HTTP server, and its whole thing — its entire main character moment — is handling special HTTP GET requests so you can go get pgagroal user passwords. iconic behavior, honestly.

here's the vibe: when a client sends an HTTP GET request to

http://<host_name>:<port>/users/<frontend_user>

the vault pulls <frontend_user> right out of the URL. then it connects over to the pgagroal main process to fetch the current <frontend_password> that goes with that <frontend_user>. like, it goes and asks, and it comes back with the goods. 💖

if the vault gets the <frontend_password> successfully? slay. it hits you back with an HTTP status code 200 and drops <frontend_password> right into the response body. the way that it just works. ✨

but if it can't? nope, bestie, no password for you — the server responds with an HTTP 404 error, which means the password for the user you asked about could not be found. 😭

nota bene, bestie: for pgagroal-vault to operate correctly, the management port of the pgagroal server must be open and functional. no management port = no vault vibes. this is not optional, this is the whole pipeline. 🚨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • **-c, --config _CONFIG_FILE** — set the path to the pgagroal_vault.conf` file 🗂️
  • **-u, --users _USERS_FILE** — set the path to the pgagroal_vault_users.conf` file 👥
  • -d, --daemon — run as a daemon 🌙 (girlboss move, she runs in the background now)
  • -?, --help — display help 🙋‍♀️ (for when you're lost, it happens to the best of us)
