⁠Docker Vault

This Docker Vault container is using Busybox⁠ and Hashicorp's Vault⁠.

Vault uses TCP/8200 by default, so we'll keep that. The demo configuration is listening on all interfaces (not just localhost), and using demo.consul.io as per the getting started docs⁠.

Configuration is stored under config/.

The automated latest build is always available at sjourdan/vault⁠:

$ docker pull sjourdan/vault

⁠Vault Server

Start by default in dev mode:

$ docker run -it \
  -p 8200:8200 \
  --hostname vault \
  --name vault sjourdan/vault

Start with a demo Consul backend using demo.consul.io⁠:

$ docker run -it \
  -p 8200:8200 \
  --hostname vault \
  --name vault \
  --volume $PWD/config:/config \
  sjourdan/vault server -config=/config/demo.hcl

If you have a running Consul container named consul, you can just use it:

$ docker run -it \
  -p 8200:8200 \
  --hostname vault \
  --name vault \
  --link consul:consul \
  --volume $PWD/config:/config \
  sjourdan/vault server -config=/config/consul.hcl

To initialize Vault, on your workstation with vault installed:

$ export VAULT_ADDR='http://a.b.c.d:8200'
$ vault init

Then RTFM⁠ for Vault usage.

⁠Consul

I'm using Progrium's Consul Docker box, it's working great. Here's with the WebUI:

$ docker run -p 8400:8400 -p 8500:8500 -p 8600:53/udp --hostname consul --name consul progrium/consul -server -bootstrap -ui-dir /ui

The WebGUI⁠ should be available.

⁠Vault Client

You can use it as a vault client too:

$ alias vault="docker run vault"
$ vault version
