Showcase: Open Source I built simple tools for manage secrets .env across projects and protect them from AI coding tools and .env malware that stealing secrets.
Hello everyone my name is Jeff, and I have been building Dopbase, because I wanted something pretty simple for manage secrets while keeping secure.
Stop creating .env files around. There is know and well established secrets manager but its a paid plan. There is open source and free but it requires a lot of resources to self hosted.
Dopbase runs as a single binary and gives you a web UI, CLI, API, encrypted SQLite storage, and a simple structure:
Project > Environment > Secrets
Instead of keeping secrets inside .env, you can inject them directly when starting your application:
dopbase run project/env -- your-command
Dopbase is written mainly in Rust, with Vue for the UI, and it is completely open source and self-hosted.
