password retention agent for keepassxc
xcagent can be built like any other go app:
CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -ldflags="-s -w" -o xcagent ./main.go
The usage is similar to ssh-agent, in that xcagent start prints environment values that are used to query the agent later on. The default flow to set up xcagent is therefore:
eval $(xcagent start)xcagent set-passphrase <path to database>xcagent query <entry name>to get the data for the wished entry
xcagent: help
arguments:
start - start the daemon in the background
kill - kill the background agent
ping - ping the background agent
command <args...> - send a raw command to keepassxc-cli through the agent
query <entry name> - query for an entry through the agent
set-passphrase <path to db> - set database path and passphrase for the agent
flags:
--daemon - start daemon mode in foreground
-q / --quiet - disable output
