systemd-creds
List, show, encrypt and decrypt service credentials. More information: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-creds.html.
- Encrypt a file and set a specific name:
systemd-creds encrypt --name=name path/to/input_file path/to/output
- Decrypt the file again:
systemd-creds decrypt path/to/input_file path/to/output_file
- Encrypt text from
stdin:
echo -n text | systemd-creds encrypt --name=name - path/to/output
- Encrypt the text and append it to the service file (the credentials will be available in
$CREDENTIALS_DIRECTORY):
echo -n text | systemd-creds encrypt --name=name --pretty - - >> service
- Create a credential that is only valid until the given timestamp:
systemd-creds encrypt --not-after="timestamp" path/to/input_file path/to/output_file
