# Pssecret server
|
|

|
|
Pssecret is self-hosted service to share secrets (like passwords) with somebody
|
|
over the network, but don't want them to appear in chats, unencrypted e-mails, etc.
|
|
|
|
This service tries to be as anonymous as possible. The only personal information that will be stored
|
|
on a server will be IP address of the client that made request to the server.
|
|
|
|
Service is built with Python, FastAPI and is using Redis for data storage.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
### Requirements
|
|
|
|
- Python 3.11+
|
|
- Redis
|
|
- Python development libraries (optional, only needed for `hiredis` module installation)
|
|
|
|
### How to install
|
|
|
|
#### Quick way
|
|
|
|
If you don't need to configure a lot of things, you can install from [pipx](https://pipx.pypa.io/stable/)
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ pipx install pssecret-server
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For better performance, install application with [hiredis](https://github.com/redis/hiredis) support.
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ pipx install pssecret-server[hiredis]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After that just run the app with
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ pssecret-server
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will start the [uvicorn](https://www.uvicorn.org/) server on `127.0.0.1:8000`.
|
|
Available configuration options:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
--host TEXT Bind socket to this host. [default: 127.0.0.1]
|
|
--port INTEGER Bind socket to this port. If 0, an available port will be
|
|
picked. [default: 8000]
|
|
--uds TEXT Bind to a UNIX domain socket.
|
|
--workers INTEGER Number of worker processes. Defaults to the
|
|
$WEB_CONCURRENCY environment variable if available, or 1.
|
|
--help Show this message and exit.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### If you'd like more control
|
|
|
|
Create virtual environment, install application, run using [uvicorn](https://www.uvicorn.org/) directly.
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ python -m venv .venv
|
|
$ source .venv/bin/activate
|
|
$ pip install pssecret-server
|
|
$ uvicorn pssecret_server.main:app --workers 4 --uds /path/to/socket.sock
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also run [uvicorn](https://www.uvicorn.org/) without activating virtualenv, e.g. from SystemD service
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ /path/to/your/.venv/bin/python -m uvicorn pssecret_server.main:app --workers 4 --uds /path/to/socket.sock
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Running Pssecret server
|
|
|
|
Make sure you have the Redis service running.
|
|
|
|
After installation is done, you can start pssecret server with `pssecret-server` command.
|
|
The web server will be started with [uvicorn](https://www.uvicorn.org/) ASGI web server.
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ pssecret-server
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Configuration
|
|
|
|
Configuration is done via environment variables.
|
|
|
|
Environment variables:
|
|
|
|
- `REDIS_URL`: URL for Redis access. Check what values are supported [here](https://redis.readthedocs.io/en/stable/connections.html#redis.Redis.from_url).
|
|
- `SECRETS_ENCRYPTION_KEY`: Key used for encrypting stored data.
|
|
|
|
You can also declare these variables in a `.env` file in the working directory.
|
|
Protect this file (or other source from where `SECRETS_ENCRYPTION_KEY` is read by application)
|
|
from being read by unauthorized parties.
