Carousel

A BOSH aware cli tool for managing the rotation of credentials stored in CredHub.

Installation

As with all go applications you can create the binary by:

• git clone https://github.com/starkandwayne/carousel
• cd carousel
• go build

you may then run it using ./carousel -help or move it under your path i.e. cp carousel /usr/local/bin

Usage

To be able to talk to BOSH and CredHub the following environment variables need to set:

# BOSH
export BOSH_ENVIRONMENT=https://{bosh_director_ip}:25555
export BOSH_CLIENT={bosh_director_uaa_client}
export BOSH_CLIENT_SECRET={bosh_director_uaa_client_secret}
export BOSH_CA_CERT="-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
...
-----END CERTIFICATE-----"

# CredHub
export CREDHUB_SERVER=https://{bosh_director_ip}:8844
export CREDHUB_CLIENT={credhub_uaa_client}
export CREDHUB_SECRET={credhub_uaa_client_secret}
export CREDHUB_CA_CERT="-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
...
-----END CERTIFICATE-----"

When using bosh-bootloader the above can be achieved by running eval "$(bbl print-env)" in your terminal.

When using BOSH Genesis Kit the same can be achieved by running eval "$(genesis do environment-name-file.yml -- print-env)"

Browse

To make it easier to debug credential, and in particular certificate issues, carousel provides an interactive terminal UI. Which gives the user an simpel way of browsing trought certificate signing chains in a tree like fashion.

List

List CredHub credentials augmented with information from the BOSH director:

• update_mode: looked up from runtime configs and deployment manifest 'variables:' sections
• deployments: list of deployment names which use this version of the credential

  -d, --deployments strings   filter by deployment names (comma separated)
  -h, --help                  help for list

Running the tests

The Makefile includes a test target, and tests are also run inside the Docker build.

Run the tests with the following command:

make test

Building and publishing the image
