Pleasant CLI

Pleasant CLI is a simple CLI that lets you interact with Pleasant Password Server instances through the command line. It uses the Pleasant Password Server API to communicate with the server.

It should work with any instance that supports API version 5 (/api/v5/).

Installation

Go to Releases and download the latest release for your platform.

Extract the archive to a location in your $PATH, e.g. on Ubuntu: /usr/local/bin.

Getting started

First, you need to set the server URL for the CLI to connect to. It must be specified as <PROTOCOL>://<URL>:<PORT>.

pleasant-cli config serverurl <SERVER URL>

The server URL will be saved to the configuration file (default: $HOME/.pleasant-cli.yaml). If you want to use a different config path, add the flag --config <PATH> to all commands.

Next, log into the Pleasant Password Server:

pleasant-cli login

Note: this will perform an interactive login. You can also pass your credentials as flags.

pleasant-cli login --username <USERNAME> --password <PASSWORD>

This will retrieve an access token and save it to a file (default: $HOME/.pleasant-token.yaml) for subsequent commands. If you want to save/use the token in a different location, add the flag --token <PATH> to all commands.

In order to view all available commands, run the CLI without any arguments.

Roadmap

Clipboard support

I am planning to at some point add clipboard support, meaning, you will be able to run a get command and immediately store the response on the clipboard, for example to retrieve a password and immediately paste it into another program.

Currently I cannot implement this without breaking the CLI on any platform where the clipboard package wouldn't be available, but should that change then most likely it will be added.
