Vault is much more then a simple key/value store for user credentials In my last post I setup up a HashiCorp Vault to store credentials like Google API-keys, username/password combinations and also my private and public key for my SSL certification authority. The SSL certificates are stored in vault so that they can be used within the CI/CD pipeline. They were stored as simple strings in the kv backend, which is in no way optimal.

Why do you want your own Vault for your DevOps Pipeline Todo: Add some motivational stuff here Setup using Docker on my server without ready the docs first As usual I setup all of the required tools as docker containers. Luckily HashiCorp provides a ready image which just needs to be started as then the UI is readily accessable on port 8200 for your HTTP-Requests. Due to some other maintenance on the server I had to reboot the server, but this is no issue as the docker container can be configured to restart automatically.
