In plain words

This GitHub project provides a method for encrypting home-lab server disks through AWS Key Management Service. It enables users running their own servers to apply encryption protocols typically associated with AWS infrastructure. The tool is designed for individuals managing personal lab environments who want to secure their disk storage using AWS's key management capabilities, making it suitable for hobbyists and self-hosted infrastructure enthusiasts seeking enterprise-level encryption without maintaining their own key infrastructure.

    Hi HN, I built AxKeyStore, an open-source CLI tool for managing secrets that uses your own private GitHub repository as encrypted storage. The idea is simple: → All encryption happens locally. → Secrets are stored as encrypted blobs in your private repo. → GitHub is treated as untrusted storage. → No plaintext secrets ever leave your machine. → No plaintext secrets are stored on disk. Most secret managers either require a hosted backend, a self-hosted server, or trusting a SaaS provider. I wanted something that: → Requires zero infrastructure → Uses tooling developers already have → Keeps…
