If you want to know more about how to save and share passwords in your clan read further!
|
||||
|
||||
### Adding a Secret
|
||||
|
||||
```shellSession
|
||||
clan secrets set mysecret
|
||||
Paste your secret:
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Retrieving a Stored Secret
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
clan secrets get mysecret
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### List all Secrets
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
clan secrets list
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### NixOS integration
|
||||
|
||||
A NixOS machine will automatically import all secrets that are encrypted for the
|
||||
current machine. At runtime it will use the host key to decrypt all secrets into
|
||||
an in-memory, non-persistent filesystem using [sops-nix](https://github.com/Mic92/sops-nix).
|
||||
In your nixos configuration you can get a path to secrets like this `config.sops.secrets.<name>.path`. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
{ config, ...}: {
|
||||
sops.secrets.my-password.neededForUsers = true;
|
||||
|
||||
users.users.mic92 = {
|
||||
isNormalUser = true;
|
||||
passwordFile = config.sops.secrets.my-password.path;
|
||||
};
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Assigning Access
|
||||
|
||||
When using `clan secrets set <secret>` without arguments, secrets are encrypted for the key of the user named like your current $USER.
|
||||
|
||||
To add machines/users to an existing secret use:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
clan secrets machines add-secret <machine_name> <secret_name>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively specify users and machines while creating a secret:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
clan secrets set --machine <machine1> --machine <machine2> --user <user1> --user <user2> <secret_name>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Advanced
|
||||
|
||||
In this section we go into more advanced secret management topics.
|
||||
|
||||
### Groups
|
||||
|
||||
Clan CLI makes it easy to manage access by allowing you to create groups.
|
||||
|
||||
All users within a group inherit access to all secrets of the group.
|
||||
|
||||
This feature eases the process of handling permissions for multiple users.
|
||||
|
||||
Here's how to get started:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Creating Groups**:
|
||||
|
||||
Assign users to a new group, e.g., `admins`:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
clan secrets groups add admins <username>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Listing Groups**:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
clan secrets groups list
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Assigning Secrets to Groups**:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
clan secrets groups add-secret <group_name> <secret_name>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Adding Machine Keys
|
||||
|
||||
New machines in Clan come with age keys stored in `./sops/machines/<machine_name>`. To list these machines:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
clan secrets machines list
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For existing machines, add their keys:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
clan secrets machines add <machine_name> <age_key>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To fetch an age key from an SSH host key:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ssh-keyscan <domain_name> | nix shell nixpkgs#ssh-to-age -c ssh-to-age
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Migration: Importing existing sops-based keys / sops-nix
|
||||
|
||||
`clan secrets` stores each secret in a single file, whereas [sops](https://github.com/Mic92/sops-nix) commonly allows to put all secrets in a yaml or json document.
|
||||
|
||||
If you already happened to use sops-nix, you can migrate by using the `clan secrets import-sops` command by importing these files:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
% clan secrets import-sops --prefix matchbox- --group admins --machine matchbox nixos/matchbox/secrets/secrets.yaml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This will create secrets for each secret found in `nixos/matchbox/secrets/secrets.yaml` in a `./sops` folder of your repository.
|
||||
Each member of the group `admins` in this case will be able to decrypt the secrets with their respective key.
|
||||
|
||||
Since our clan secret module will auto-import secrets that are encrypted for a particular nixos machine,
|
||||
you can now remove `sops.secrets.<secrets> = { };` unless you need to specify more options for the secret like owner/group of the secret file.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Indepth Explanation
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The secrets system conceptually knows two different entities:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Machine**: consumes secrets
|
||||
- **User**: manages access to secrets
|
||||
|
||||
**A Users** Can add or revoke machines' access to secrets.
|
||||
|
||||
**A machine** Can decrypt secrets that where encrypted specifically for that machine.
|
||||
|
||||
!!! Danger
|
||||
**Always make sure at least one _User_ has access to a secret**. Otherwise you could lock yourself out from accessing the secret.
|
||||
|
||||
### Inherited implications
|
||||
|
||||
By default clan uses [sops](https://github.com/getsops/sops) through [sops-nix](https://github.com/Mic92/sops-nix) for managing its secrets which inherits some implications that are important to understand:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Public/Private keys**: Entities are identified via their public keys. Each Entity can use their respective private key to decrypt a secret.
|
||||
- **Public keys are stored**: All Public keys are stored inside the repository
|
||||
- **Secrets are stored Encrypted**: secrets are stored inside the repository encrypted with the respective public keys
|
||||
- **Secrets are deployed encrypted**: Fully encrypted secrets are deployed to machines at deployment time.
|
||||
- **Secrets are decrypted by sops on-demand**: Each machine decrypts its secrets at runtime and stores them at an ephemeral location.
|
||||
- **Machine key-pairs are auto-generated**: When a machine is created **no user-interaction is required** to setup public/private key-pairs.
|
||||
- **secrets are re-encrypted**: In case machines, users or groups are modified secrets get re-encrypted on demand.
|
||||
|
||||
!!! Important
|
||||
After revoking access to a secret you should also change the underlying secret. i.e. change the API key, or the password.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Machine and user keys
|
||||
|
||||
The following diagrams illustrates how a user can provide a secret (i.e. a Password).
|
||||
|
||||
- By using the **Clan CLI** a user encrypts the password with both the **User public-key** and the **machine's public-key**
|
||||
|
||||
- The *Machine* can decrypt the password with its private-key on demand.
|
||||
|
||||
- The *User* is able to decrypt the password to make changes to it.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### User groups
|
||||
|
||||
Here we illustrate how machine groups work.
|
||||
|
||||
Common use cases:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Shared Management**: Access among multiple users. I.e. a subset of secrets/machines that have two admins
|
||||
|
||||
```plantuml
|
||||

### Adding a Secret
|
||||
|
||||
```shellSession
|
||||
clan secrets set mysecret
|
||||
Paste your secret:
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Retrieving a Stored Secret
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
clan secrets get mysecret
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### List all Secrets
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
clan secrets list
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### NixOS integration
|
||||
|
||||
A NixOS machine will automatically import all secrets that are encrypted for the
|
||||
current machine. At runtime it will use the host key to decrypt all secrets into
|
||||
an in-memory, non-persistent filesystem using [sops-nix](https://github.com/Mic92/sops-nix).
|
||||
In your nixos configuration you can get a path to secrets like this `config.sops.secrets.<name>.path`. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
{ config, ...}: {
|
||||
sops.secrets.my-password.neededForUsers = true;
|
||||
|
||||
users.users.mic92 = {
|
||||
isNormalUser = true;
|
||||
passwordFile = config.sops.secrets.my-password.path;
|
||||
};
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Assigning Access
|
||||
|
||||
When using `clan secrets set <secret>` without arguments, secrets are encrypted for the key of the user named like your current $USER.
|
||||
|
||||
To add machines/users to an existing secret use:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
clan secrets machines add-secret <machine_name> <secret_name>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively specify users and machines while creating a secret:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
clan secrets set --machine <machine1> --machine <machine2> --user <user1> --user <user2> <secret_name>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Advanced
|
||||
|
||||
In this section we go into more advanced secret management topics.
|
||||
|
||||
### Groups
|
||||
|
||||
Clan CLI makes it easy to manage access by allowing you to create groups.
|
||||
|
||||
All users within a group inherit access to all secrets of the group.
|
||||
|
||||
This feature eases the process of handling permissions for multiple users.
|
||||
|
||||
Here's how to get started:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Creating Groups**:
|
||||
|
||||
Assign users to a new group, e.g., `admins`:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
clan secrets groups add admins <username>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Listing Groups**:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
clan secrets groups list
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Assigning Secrets to Groups**:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
clan secrets groups add-secret <group_name> <secret_name>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Adding Machine Keys
|
||||
|
||||
New machines in Clan come with age keys stored in `./sops/machines/<machine_name>`. To list these machines:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
clan secrets machines list
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For existing machines, add their keys:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
clan secrets machines add <machine_name> <age_key>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To fetch an age key from an SSH host key:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ssh-keyscan <domain_name> | nix shell nixpkgs#ssh-to-age -c ssh-to-age
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Migration: Importing existing sops-based keys / sops-nix
|
||||
|
||||
`clan secrets` stores each secret in a single file, whereas [sops](https://github.com/Mic92/sops-nix) commonly allows to put all secrets in a yaml or json document.
|
||||
|
||||
If you already happened to use sops-nix, you can migrate by using the `clan secrets import-sops` command by importing these files:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
% clan secrets import-sops --prefix matchbox- --group admins --machine matchbox nixos/matchbox/secrets/secrets.yaml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This will create secrets for each secret found in `nixos/matchbox/secrets/secrets.yaml` in a `./sops` folder of your repository.
|
||||
Each member of the group `admins` in this case will be able to decrypt the secrets with their respective key.
|
||||
|
||||
Since our clan secret module will auto-import secrets that are encrypted for a particular nixos machine,
|
||||
you can now remove `sops.secrets.<secrets> = { };` unless you need to specify more options for the secret like owner/group of the secret file.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Indepth Explanation
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The secrets system conceptually knows two different entities:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Machine**: consumes secrets
|
||||
- **User**: manages access to secrets
|
||||
|
||||
**A Users** Can add or revoke machines' access to secrets.
|
||||
|
||||
**A machine** Can decrypt secrets that where encrypted specifically for that machine.
|
||||
|
||||
!!! Danger
|
||||
**Always make sure at least one _User_ has access to a secret**. Otherwise you could lock yourself out from accessing the secret.
|
||||
|
||||
### Inherited implications
|
||||
|
||||
By default clan uses [sops](https://github.com/getsops/sops) through [sops-nix](https://github.com/Mic92/sops-nix) for managing its secrets which inherits some implications that are important to understand:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Public/Private keys**: Entities are identified via their public keys. Each Entity can use their respective private key to decrypt a secret.
|
||||
- **Public keys are stored**: All Public keys are stored inside the repository
|
||||
- **Secrets are stored Encrypted**: secrets are stored inside the repository encrypted with the respective public keys
|
||||
- **Secrets are deployed encrypted**: Fully encrypted secrets are deployed to machines at deployment time.
|
||||
- **Secrets are decrypted by sops on-demand**: Each machine decrypts its secrets at runtime and stores them at an ephemeral location.
|
||||
- **Machine key-pairs are auto-generated**: When a machine is created **no user-interaction is required** to setup public/private key-pairs.
|
||||
- **secrets are re-encrypted**: In case machines, users or groups are modified secrets get re-encrypted on demand.
|
||||
|
||||
!!! Important
|
||||
After revoking access to a secret you should also change the underlying secret. i.e. change the API key, or the password.
|
||||

||||
### Machine and user keys
|
||||
|
||||
The following diagrams illustrates how a user can provide a secret (i.e. a Password).
|
||||
|
||||
- By using the **Clan CLI** a user encrypts the password with both the **User public-key** and the **machine's public-key**
|
||||
|
||||
- The *Machine* can decrypt the password with its private-key on demand.
|
||||
|
||||
- The *User* is able to decrypt the password to make changes to it.
|
||||
|
||||
```plantuml
|
||||
@startuml
|
||||
!include C4_Container.puml
|
||||
|
||||
Person(user, "User", "Someone who manages secrets")
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### User groups
|
||||
|
||||
Here we illustrate how machine groups work.
|
||||
|
||||
Common use cases:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Shared Management**: Access among multiple users. I.e. a subset of secrets/machines that have two admins
|
||||
|
||||
```plantuml
|
||||
@startuml
|
||||
!include C4_Container.puml
|
||||
|
||||
System_Boundary(c1, "Group") {
|
||||
Person(user1, "User A", "has access")
|
||||
Person(user2, "User B", "has access")
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
ContainerDb(secret, "Secret")
|
||||
Container(machine, "Machine", "A Machine. i.e. Needs the Secret for a given Service." )
|
||||
|
||||
Rel_R(c1, secret, "Encrypt", "", "Pubkeys: User A, User B, Machine")
|
||||
Rel_R(secret, machine, "Decrypt", "", "machine privkey" )

}
|

Rel_R(user, secret, "Encrypt", "", "Pubkeys: machine A, machine B, User")

At the moment, NixOS/Clan does not support [Secure Boot](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Secure_Boot). Therefore, you need to disable it in the BIOS. You can watch this [video guide](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKVShiMUePc) or follow the instructions below:
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 1: Insert the USB Stick
|
||||
- Begin by inserting the USB stick into a USB port on your computer.
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 2: Access the UEFI/BIOS Menu
|
||||
- Restart your computer.
|
||||
- As your computer restarts, press the appropriate key to enter the UEFI/BIOS settings.
|
||||
??? tip "The key depends on your laptop or motherboard manufacturer. Click to see a reference list:"
|
||||
|
||||
| Manufacturer | UEFI/BIOS Key(s) |
|
||||
|--------------------|---------------------------|
|
||||
| ASUS | `Del`, `F2` |
|
||||
| MSI | `Del`, `F2` |
|
||||
| Gigabyte | `Del`, `F2` |
|
||||
| ASRock | `Del`, `F2` |
|
||||
| Lenovo | `F1`, `F2`, `Enter` (alternatively `Fn + F2`) |
|
||||
| HP | `Esc`, `F10` |
|
||||
| Dell | `F2`, `Fn + F2`, `Esc` |
|
||||
| Acer | `F2`, `Del` |
|
||||
| Samsung | `F2`, `F10` |
|
||||
| Toshiba | `F2`, `Esc` |
|
||||
| Sony | `F2`, `Assist` button |
|
||||
| Fujitsu | `F2` |
|
||||
| Microsoft Surface | `Volume Up` + `Power` |
|
||||
| IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad| `Enter`, `F1`, `F12` |
|
||||
| Biostar | `Del` |
|
||||
| Zotac | `Del`, `F2` |
|
||||
| EVGA | `Del` |
|
||||
| Origin PC | `F2`, `Delete` |
|
||||
|
||||
!!! Note
|
||||
Pressing the key quickly and repeatedly is sometimes necessary to access the UEFI/BIOS menu, as the window to enter this mode is brief.
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 3: Access Advanced Mode (Optional)
|
||||
- If your UEFI/BIOS has a `Simple` or `Easy` mode interface, look for an option labeled `Advanced Mode` (often found in the lower right corner).
|
||||
- Click on `Advanced Mode` to access more settings. This step is optional, as your boot settings might be available in the basic view.
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 4: Disable Secure Boot
|
||||
- Locate the `Secure Boot` option in your UEFI/BIOS settings. This is typically found under a `Security` tab, `Boot` tab, or a similarly named section.
|
||||
- Set the `Secure Boot` option to `Disabled`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 5: Change Boot Order
|
||||
- Find the option to adjust the boot order—often labeled `Boot Order`, `Boot Sequence`, or `Boot Priority`.
|
||||
- Ensure that your USB device is set as the first boot option. This allows your computer to boot from the USB stick.
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 6: Save and Exit
|
||||
- Save your changes before exiting the UEFI/BIOS menu. Look for a `Save & Exit` option or press the corresponding function key (often `F10`).
|
||||
- Your computer should now restart and boot from the USB stick.
