 # Terracreds
-A credential helper for Terraform Cloud/Enterprise that allows secure storage of your API token within the operating system's vault instead of in a plain text configuration file. 
+A credential helper for Terraform Cloud/Enterprise that allows secure storage of your API token within the operating system's vault instead of in a plain text configuration file
 
-We all know storing secrets in plain text can pose major security threats, and Terraform doesn't come pre-packaged with a credential helper, so we decided to create one and to share it with the greater Terraform/DevOps community to help enable stronger security practices.

 #### Currently supported Operating Systems:
 - [x] Windows (Credential Manager)
 - [x] MacOS (Keychain)
-- [ ] Linux (ksecretservice or gnome-keyring)

-*The Linux version is currently in development. If you'd like to support the project please feel free to submit a PR*
+- [x] Linux (gnome-keyring) *Tested on Ubuntu 20.04*
 
 ## Windows Install via Chocolatey
 The fastest way to install `terracreds` on Windows is via our Chocolatey package:
-```bash
+```powershell
 choco install terracreds -y
 ```
 
 Once installed run the following command to verify `terracreds` was installed properly:
-```bash
+```powershell
 terracreds -v
 ```
+
+To upgrade `terracreds` to the latest version with Chocolatey run the the following command:
+```powershell
+choco upgrade terracreds -y
+```
+
 ## macOS Install
-We are currently working on a `homebrew` package, however, to install the package simply download our latest release from this repository, extract the package, and then place it in a directory available on `$HOME`

+
+## Linux Install
+You'll need to download the latest binary from our release page and place it anywhere on `$PATH` of your system. You can also copy and run the following commands:
+
+```bash
+wget https://github.com/tonedefdev/terracreds/releases/download/untagged-89883151b71ff5a64c29/terracreds_1.1.1_linux_amd64.tar.gz \
+tar -xvf terracreds_1.1.1_linux_amd64.tar.gz \
+sudo mv -f terracreds /usr/bin/terracreds \
+rm -f terracreds_1.1.1_linux_amd64.tar.gz
+```
+
+The `terracreds` Linux implementation uses `gnome-keyring` in conjunction with `gnome-keyring-daemon` 
+to utilize the credential storage engine
+
+In order to leverage `terracreds` to have access to the default `Login` collection you'll need to unlock 
+the collection with `gnome-keyring-daemon` using an empty password:
+
+```bash
+echo "" | gnome-keyring-daemon --unlock
+```
+> You do have the option of setting a password by passing it in with `echo` but every call to `terracreds get` will require the 
+unlock password
+
+The command, if successful, should return the following:
+```txt
+SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/run/user/1000/keyring/ssh
+```
 
-## Manual Install
+You can verify that it's running properly with:
+```bash
+ps -ef | grep 'gnome-keyring-daemon'
+```

+If you're upgrading to the latest version of `terracreds` from a previous version use one of the methods above to install the latest binary. Once successfully installed on your system you just need to run `terracreds generate` to copy the latest version to the correct `plugins` directory for your operating system
 
 ## Initial Configuration
-In order for `terracreds` to act as your credential provider you'll need to generate the binary and the plugin directory in the default location that Terraform looks for plugins. Specifically, for credential helpers, and for Windows, the directory is `%APPDATA%\terraform.d\plugins` and for macOS `$HOME/.terraformrc`

Specifically, for credential helpers, and for Windows, the directory is `%APPDATA%\terraform.d\plugins` and for macOS and Linux `$HOME/.terraform.d/.terraformrc`
 
 To make things as simple as possible we created a helper command to generate everthing needed to use the app. All you need to do is run the following command in `terracreds` to generate the plugin directory, and the correctly formatted binary that Terraform will use:
 ```bash
 terracreds generate
 ```
 
-This command will generate the binary as `terraform-credentials-terracreds.exe` for Windows or `terraform-credentials-terracreds` for macOS which is the valid naming convention for Terraform to recognize this plugin as a credential helper.

-In addition to the binary and plugin a `terraform.rc` file is required for Windows or `.terraformrc` for macOS with a `credentials_helper` block which instructs Terraform to use the specified credential helper. If you don't already have a `terraform.rc` or a `.terraformrc` file you can pass in `--create-cli-config` to create the file with the credentials helper block already generated for use with the `terracreds` binary for your OS.

 ## Storing Credentials
-For Terraform to properly use the credentials stored in your credential manager they need to be stored a specific way. The name of the credential object must be the domain name of the Terraform Cloud or Enterprise server. For instance `app.terraform.io` which is the default name `terraform login` will use.

 ## Protection
-In order to add some protection `terracreds` adds a username to the credential object, and checks to ensure that the user requesting access to the token is the same user as the token's creator. This means that only the user account used to create the token can view the token from `terracreds` which ensures that the token can only be read by the account used to create it. Any attempt to access or modify this token from `terracreds` outside of the user that created the credentail will lead to denial messages. Additionally, if the credential name is not found, the same access denied message will be provided in lieu of a generic not found message to help prevent brute force attempts.

 ## Logging
-Wherever either binary is stored `terracreds` or `terraform-credential-terracreds` a `config.yaml` file is generated on first launch of the binary. Currently, this configuration file only enables/disables logging and sets the log path. If logging is enabled you'll find the log named `terracreds.log` at the provided path. 
->It's important to note that you'll have two configuration files due to Terraform requiring that the credential helper have a very specific binary name, so when troubleshooting credential issues with Terraform remember to setup the configuration file in the `%APPDATA%\terraform.d\plugins` directory for Windows and `$HOME/.terraformrc` directory for macOS.
