GoSnappass is a reimplementation of pinterest/snappass in Golang.
The project goal is to start with a drop-in compatible binary. You should be to run this in a nearly identical environment to the original implementation and have things working as expected.
We think this will change in the future, as we intend to simplify some of the environment calls and provide some help output to the user. As we work towards this goal, we intend to provide a configuration adaptor taking the original snappass environment variable inputs and translating them to those used by gosnappass.
For now, however, we'll keep with the original intent of being drop-in compatible.
For fun and practice, mostly! We've always liked the simplicty and effectiveness
of the original snappass. Porting this has allowed us to work with some new
libraries such as fernet-go, file embedding, the upcoming slog golang standard
library, the redis-go library, and Gorilla Mux.
You can launch a quick redis server using make redis. This requires a
container engine like podman (default) or docker. Tear it down with make redis-teardown. See the Makefile for information on how to
configure the target.
Then just make run to get the application running.
To test with a reverse proxy, try out the included Caddyfile. It
binds gosnappass to localhost:8080/sharepassword/. Use
URL_PREFIX=/sharepassword/ make run after starting redis and caddy.
