Alternatives to Hashicorp Vault? (feddit.cl)

I want a centralized way to manage keys and secrets. And some service users with little privileges over a subset of the secrets. Ideally, a service user only should be able to read its own subset of secrets. So, let's say, if a container gets pwned it will only read its secrets and no more. It should be FOSS and self-hostable.

And a beautiful nice-to-have feature would be access log, to know who read what and when.

My only experience with something similar is Hashicorp Vault, but I don't want to be near any Hashicorp stuff ever again.

Do you know a FOSS alternative to Vault?

Can't believe that's gone through. They took JBoss when they bought RedHat so now it doesn't have to compete with Websphere and when they bought HashiCorp Openshift doesn't have to compete with Nomad. At this rate they'll buy CyberArk and then that's no more competition with Vault.

To make matters worse, Red Hat who own Ansible are also owned by IBM.

All hail International Business autoMation

There's a little overlap with things like Terraform but it's not as bad as if they bought the companies that owned Chef or Puppet.
