Encrypt embedded resource in compiled binary using age. Meant for usage with go generate.
This tool will generate a go source file that embeds an encrypted version of the file that is specified, and provides a function to access the plaintext content of that file. Options allow for arbitrary naming of the function, encrypted file, and optionally the ability to not include the password in the file.
-decvarname string
variable name to use for decrypted resource (if you don't want to access it via the function)
-encvarname string
variable name for encrypted resource (default "cryptembed")
-extkey string
do not embed the key in the binary (writes to specified filename)
-funcname string
name of function to return decrypted input file (default "embedded")
-i string
input file
-o string
encrypted output file (default "encembedded")
-pkgname string
name of package for source file to output (default "main")
-srcname string
source file name to create (default "zencembed.go")
Examples can be found in the example dir, but basic usage to replace your original embed is:
This will encrypt plaintext_file.txt, and make a variable called plaintext available that exposes the decrypted data.
func main(){
log.Println(string(plaintext))
}
//go:generate go run github.com/c-sto/encembed -i plaintext_file.txt -decvarname plaintext
