dotling vault

Manage the encryption vault.

Usage

dotling vault <ACTION>

Actions

`dotling vault init`

Initialize a new vault with a password.

dotling vault init

You’ll be prompted for a password (entered twice for confirmation). This creates the vault at ~/.dotling/vault/ with an encrypted identity secret.

`dotling vault show`

Display vault status and location.

dotling vault show

Shows whether a vault exists and its location. Note: creation date is not currently displayed.

`dotling vault export`

Export the vault as a portable encrypted bundle.

dotling vault export <PATH>

Creates a single encrypted file containing the vault config and identity secret. Use this to migrate your vault to a new machine.

`dotling vault import`

Import a vault bundle.

dotling vault import <PATH>

Imports the vault from an encrypted bundle. You’ll be prompted for the bundle’s password. This overwrites any existing vault.

`dotling vault change-password`

Change the vault password.

dotling vault change-password

You’ll be prompted for the current password and a new password. The vault identity is re-encrypted with the new password.

# Migrate to a new machine
dotling vault export ~/vault.bundle
# ... copy vault.bundle to new machine ...
