Goldfish

What is this?

Goldfish answers many auditing and administration questions that Vault API can't:

• Right now, are there any root tokens in Vault?
• Which policies, users, and tokens can access this particular secret path?
• The unseal admins are working from home, but we need a policy changed.
  • How do we generate a root token only for this change, and make sure it's revoked after?
• I store my policies on a Github repo. Can I deploy all my policies in one go? See more
• If I remove this secret/policy, will anybody's workflow break?

Deploy goldfish in production in minutes!

Seriously, the instructions fit on one screen!

Features

• [x] Hot-loadable server settings from a provided vault endpoint
• [x] Displaying a vault endpoint as a 'bulletin board' in homepage
• [x] Logging in with token, userpass, github, or LDAP
• [x] Secret Reading/editing/creating/listing
• [x] Auth Searching/creating/listing/deleting
• [x] Mounts Listing
• [x] Policies Searching/Listing
• [x] Encrypting and decrypting arbitrary strings using transit backend

Major features: See wiki for more

• [x] DONE! Searching tokens by policy walkthrough
  • E.g. Display all tokens that have the policy 'admins'
• [x] DONE! Searching policy by rule walkthrough
  • E.g. Display all policies that can access 'secret/data*'
• [x] DONE! Request & approval based policy changes walkthrough
  • Users can place a policy change request in vault
  • Admins must then provide unseal tokens for that specific request
  • Upon reaching a set number, goldfish generates a root token, performs edit, and revokes the root token
• [x] DONE! Terraform your vault walkthrough
  • Fetch a folder of policies from a commit in github
  • Admins can enter their unseal tokens for approval to set vault policies according to policies found
  • Change dozens of policies in one go!
• [x] DONE! Resource dependency chain
  • E.g. Will removing a particular policy affect current users?
  • Will removing a mount or secret path affect current users?

Developing Goldfish

Running locally

You'll need go (v1.9), nodejs (v8.2), and npm (v5)

# hashicorp vault ui

# clone goldfish
go get github.com/caiyeon/goldfish
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/caiyeon/goldfish

# running goldfish server in -dev will spin up a local vault instance for you
go run server.go -dev

# running goldfish frontend in dev mode will allow for hot-reload of frontend files
cd frontend
sudo npm install -g cross-env
npm install
npm run dev

# a browser window/tab should open, pointing directly to goldfish

Using a VM

A vagrantfile is available as well

You'll need Vagrant and VirtualBox. On Windows, a restart after installation is needed.

# if you wish to launch goldfish in a VM:
git clone https://github.com/Caiyeon/goldfish.git
cd goldfish/vagrant

# this will take awhile
vagrant up --provision

# go to localhost:8080 on your local machine and login with token 'goldfish'

# changes to frontend .vue files will be hot-reloaded
# to force a full reload for the frontend, ssh into the machine and run
#     `sudo systemctl restart goldfish_frontend.service`
# to recompile and re-run the backend, ssh into the machine and run
#     `sudo systemctl restart goldfish.service`

Compiling

You'll need Go(v1.9), Nodejs (v8.2.0), Npm (v5)

Note that using different versions (of nodeJS, especially) will cause differences in the final binary.

# download the source code
go get -d github.com/caiyeon/goldfish
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/caiyeon/goldfish

# resetting to a tagged version is recommended
# no support will be given to arbitrary commits on the master branch
git fetch --all --tags --prune
git checkout tags/<version> # version could be, for example, v0.8.0

# compile the binary
sh build.sh

Why 'Goldfish'?

This server should behave as a goldfish, forgetting everything immediately after a request is completed. That, and other inside-joke reasons.
