The Go library

This repository contains several Go packages for interacting with Vault:

• pkg/auth

  A GitHub OAuth2 based authentication system as a Gin Middleware, stores JWT bearer tokens in Vault.

  

• pkg/vault

  A wrapper for the official Vault client with automatic token renewal, and Kubernetes support.

  

• pkg/db

  A helper for creating database source strings (MySQL/PostgreSQL) with database credentials dynamically based on configured Vault roles (instead of username:password).

  

• pkg/tls

  A simple package to generate self-signed TLS certificates. Useful for bootstrapping situations, when you can't use Vault's PKI secret engine.

Examples for using the library part
