👑 NAME 👑

okay so bestie, let me introduce you to custodia 💅 — and yeah, the manual page for it is custodia(7), under the very cute umbrella title Custodia Secrets Manager. She's the whole vibe. Sit down, we're doing a lore drop. 🎀

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Custodia is a modular and pluggable Secrets Manager. That's the whole personality, and honestly? Iconic. 🫶

She serves, retrieves, manages and stores secrets for other applications. Like, she's not keeping secrets for herself — she's out here being the trusted bestie that other apps hand their most personal stuff to. No cap. 🔐

She is useful for distributed, stateless applications that use an image file base approach for instantiation, like container based images. Yes bestie, the container girlies. Stateless and distributed and just vibing with image-based instantiation — Custodia is the one holding the secrets so the app doesn't have to. Main character energy fr fr. 🐳✨

But wait, there's more — she is also useful to manage distribution of key material across multiple machines over a network. Multiple machines?? Over a network?? She's literally doing the group chat administration of key material and she's doing it beautifully. 💅🌈

not me being a secrets manager AND a key material distribution queen at the same time 😭 slay, ate, no crumbs 🍓

and that's the whole page, bestie!! this lil gem is from the Custodia source, dated 2015, living her life as custodia(7) — go forth and keep your secrets safe 🦋💜⭐
