htpasswd provides Go-specific implementation of Apache's original htpasswd utility. This includes an optimized version of the Apache-specific APR1 hashing algorithm, which can be used completely separately from the rest of the project.
This project was originally started due to ingress-nginx requiring users to create their own .htpasswd file by hand, and then manually adding it as a secret. I wanted a nice Terraform deployment in which I wouldn't have to manually run that, but instead would be able to generate / parse those files programatically, in Go.
This project does not have a stable release, however the subpackage apr1 is considered stable and tested, and unlikely to change.
For using this package's subpackages, use the following.
go get -u github.com/johnaoss/htpasswdFor CLI usage, please use the following.
go get -u github.com/johnaoss/htpasswd
go install github.com/johnaoss/htpasswdCurrently only the flag combination -nb is supported, as such you can do the following:
# Example usage
$ htpasswd -nb user pass
# Example output:
user:$apr1$8Zh7TbIu$K0ksWxmHnnEP5oBLe/y0.0
This is planned to support all functionality that the original htpasswd utility does, including parsing and editing the actual .htpasswd files.
Currently only the additional hashing algorithm is introduced, pending my decision on how to properly strucutre this application.
