Hi,

  1. My "guix secrets" tool provides a command-line interface to maintain a "secrets database" (/etc/guix/secrets.db) that's only accessible to root.  It can contain simple passwords, arbitrary text (like for instance X509 certificates in PEM format) and binary data.



  2. Finally, "secrets-service-type" depends on all of the above to do its work.

    It takes a template file - which is typically interned in the store - containing special "tokens" that tell it which keys to look up from the secrets database.

This sounds great and like being a major step towards "guixops" [1], [2].
