Simple to use, simple to deploy, one time self destruct messaging service, with hashicorp vault as a backend

Secretmessage!

A simple, secure self-destructing message service, using HashiCorp Vault product as a backend.

This repo is forked from the algolia version. It is updated to include the linux x64 binary (so you don't have to figure out how to compile golang like I did) and for use with Traefik v2.

Read more about the reasoning behind the algolia version in this relevant blog post.

Prerequisites

• Go (for building on other platforms than linux x64)
• Docker
• Docker-Compose
• Traefik
• Make

How to use

1. Clone this repo
2. Ensure you have docker and docker-compose installed on server
3. Edit docker-compose.yml to replace VAULT_DEV_ROOT_TOKEN_ID and VAULT_TOKEN with a token you have generated (such as from pwgen)
4. Replace references in docker-compose.yml to secretmessage.example.org with your domain.
5. Bring it up! docker-compose up -d && docker-compose logs -f

Security notice!

You should always run this behind SSL/TLS; otherwise, a message will be sent unencrypted!
