Cubby
Cubby is a secure blob storage tool optimized for command-line users that can function as a personal organizer, configuration mechanism, or publishing system, among many other things.
In Cubby, users can read or write blobs like so:
cubby put "janes phone number" 2125551212
cubby get "janes phone number" # opens in $EDITOR by default (vim, emacs, etc.)
All blobs are encrypted on the client side and only ciphertext is stored on the server.
Installation
The repository defines two binaries in cmd: a client and a server. By default, the client will use the publicly available server at public.cubbycli.com, but users can choose to run a private server instead.
Creating a config file
Create a cubby-client.yaml file in your $HOME directory with contents as follows:
host: https://public.cubbycli.com
port: 3737
options:
viewer: editor
body-only: true
user:
email: jason
password: passwordhere
crypto:
symmetric-key: sometexthere
mode: symmetric
Next, run:
cubby signup
You should see a success message and be ready to go.
Cubby subcommands
put
Puts a new blob into Cubby.
Usage: cubby put <key> <value>
Example: cubby put myemail "[email protected]"
Optional parameters include:
-a: attach file to blob, e.g.-a file.txt-2: add blob as a child to another blob (specified by colon-delimited path), e.g.-2 path:to:parent-g: add a tag, e.g.-g work-X: add a TTL, e.g.-X 365d
push
Appends a single line of text to a blob.
Usage: cubby push <path> <new line>
Usage: cubby push notes "TODO: buy thanksgiving turkey"
get
View and update a blob.
get opens the blob’s body contents in the viewer configured in options.viewer. By default, this is set to editor, which opens the blob in your system’s default editor (as defined by $EDITOR). It can also be set to stdout or viewer for read-only use cases.
Nested blobs can be retrieved by using colon-delimited paths, e.g. root-blob:child-blob.
Usage: cubby get <key>
Example: cubby get myemail
list
List blobs.
list shows all active blobs, intended to illustrate parent-child relationships.
Usage: cubby list
search
Search blobs.
Searches titles, tags, and unencrypted body text.
Usage: cubby search <substring>
Example: cubby search email
signup
Signs up a user identity.
By default, this subcommand takes the username and password from your cubby-client.yaml file. Be sure to set up this config file before running signup.
Usage: cubby signup
