Github stars Tracking Chart

Description

This is user management tool for linux by github.
The name-resolves and authentication is provided the team or collaborator on github.
Features easy handling and ease of operation.

Usage

For example, adding "Ken" to a team with github organization ...

OCTOPASS is a valid linux server, Ken will be able to ssh login with the key registered in github.

Wow!?

By OCTOPASS name resolution, you can check the id of team members of github organization.

$ id ken
uid=5458(ken) gid=2000(operators) groups=2000(operators)

You can also see a list like /etc/passwd,shadow,group by OCTOPASS.
For detail --help.

$ octopass passwd
chun-li:x:14301:2000:managed by octopass:/home/chun-li:/bin/bash
dhalsim:x:8875:2000:managed by octopass:/home/dhalsim:/bin/bash
ken:x:5458:2000:managed by octopass:/home/ken:/bin/bash
ryu:x:74049:2000:managed by octopass:/home/ryu:/bin/bash
sagat:x:93011:2000:managed by octopass:/home/sagat:/bin/bash
zangief:x:8305:2000:managed by octopass:/home/zangief:/bin/bash

And OCTOPASS gets the public key from github for key authentication.

$ octopass ken
ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAAQEAqUJvs1vRgHRMH9dpxYcBBV687njS2YrJ+oeIKvbAbg6yL4QsJMeElcPOlmfWEYsp8vbRLXQCTvv14XJfKmgp8V9es5P/l8r5Came3X1S/muqRMONUTdygCpfyo+BJGIMVKtH8fSsBCWfJJ1EYEesyzxqc2u44yIiczM2b461tRwW+7cHNrQ6bKEY9sRMV0p/zkOdPwle30qQml+AlS1SvbrMiiJLEW75dSSENr5M+P4ciJHYXhsrgLE95+ThFPqbznZYWixxATWEYMLiK6OrSy5aYss4o9mvEBJozyrVdKyKz11zSK2D4Z/JTh8eP+NxAw5otqBmfNx+HhKRH3MhJQ==

Why?

I did not need functions like ldap, and asked for ease and ease of introduction.
Therefore, the user only considers it as administrator authority.
However, it is very easy to add a newly added user or to remove a user who leaves.

Also, in order to speedily resolve names, Github API responses are file cached.
With this, even if Github is down, it will work if past caches remain.
