proxy.golang.org : github.com/jjeffery/hclconfig

Package hclconfig aims to make it easy for cloud-based server programs to access configuration files. Configuration files can be referenced as a URL or as a local file. Supported URL schemes include http, https, s3 and file. The package provides a mechanism to efficiently determine whether a config file has changed. It is a common requirement for a configuration file to include sensitive information such as passwords, database connection strings, API keys, and similar. It is poor practice to store this configuration in clear text. This package provides a convenient mechanism for storing sensitive information in a configuration file in encrypted form. The package is somewhat opinionated. Configuration files are expected to be in HCL format (https://github.com/hashicorp/hcl). Sensitive data is encrypted using a data key, which is stored in the configuration file in encrypted form. Currently AWS KMS is used to encrypt the data key, but other mechanisms could be included in future versions of this package. The following example shows an HCL configuration file that stores sensitive information. In this file the `encryption` section has specified a data encryption key that is encrypted using an AWS KMS encryption key. The sensitive data in the configuration file (eg the database password) is encrypted using the data encryption key. A command line utility `hclconfig` is provided to assist with encrypting and decrypting data in a configuration file. See package "cmd/hclconfig" for details.
