puppet-vault

Build Status Puppet
Forge Dependency Status

Overview

This is a puppet module to install Hashicorp's vault project to keep your secrets safe. This module doesn't build the Vault packages which should be pretty easy to do using fpm.

Documentation for Vault can be found on their site. Take into consideration:

  • You can only define one storage backend, listener and telemetry on the config file.
  • Other configurations should be set up using Vault API or CLI.

Install Vault

include ::vault

Configure Vault using Hiera

This module enables you to use hiera to configure your Vault server. It also allows you to use module data.

vault::config_hash:
    backend:
        consul:
            address: '127.0.0.1:8500'
            advertise_addr: "http://%{::ipaddress_eth0}"
            path: 'vault/'
    listener:
        tcp:
            address: "%{::fqdn}:8200"
            tls_disable: true
    telemetry:
        statsite_address: '127.0.0.1:8125'
        disable_hostname: true
    disable_mlock: true
vault::manage_user: true
vault::package_ensure: 'latest'
vault::vault_user: 'vault'
vault::restart_cmd: '/etc/init.d/vault restart'

To run multiple listeners, for example disabling TLS on 127.0.0.1, but requiring TLS from external hosts

    listener:
        - tcp:
            address: "127.0.0.1:8200"
            tls_disable: true
        - tcp:
            address: "%{::fqdn}:8200"
            tls_cert_file: "/path/to/cert.pub"
            tls_key_file:  "/path/to/private.key"

Vault Enterprise customers using a PKCS#11 HSM might do...

    hsm:
        pkcs11:
            lib: "/path/to/libpkcs11.so"
            slot: "0"
            key_label: "vault"
            pin: "Goofus commits secrets to repos. Gallant uses $VAULT_HSM_PIN"

The puppet-vault module uses a SysV init script. Those wishing to avoid putting the PIN in Hiera in plaintext could, for example, create an /etc/default/vault, owned by root and only readable by root, looking like...

export VAULT_HSM_PIN="correct horse battery staple"

Uninstalling Vault

Ensure the following hiera key is present so Vault can be correctly uninstalled

vault::package_ensure: absent
