EnvCloak: lightweight, env file encryption – ready for CICD pipelines
When someone here told me to focus on something more useful than reinventing the wheel. So. EnvCloak, a lightweight and simple tool for securely managing sensitive environment files. The design focuses on simplicity - just a few intuitive commands using the Click Python library. I assume seamless integration with CI/CD workflows. The aim is to provide a streamlined solution without the need for clunky tools. If you're tired of complex configurations or bloated alternatives, this might be worth a look! I would appreciate any feedback, feature ideas or input on how to improve this…

- IJI just fixed .env once and for all – better-envNov 2025 · better-env.dev · ▲8
.env files have always felt archaic, insecure, clunky and honestly just not fun to work with. I see my friends (and myself) accidentally committing them all the time. Managing secrets across projects becomes a mess of copy-pasting keys into scattered env files with no real way to sync anything. So I built better-env: a secure, developer-friendly alternative to .env. Store your secrets once in a global encrypted store, and load them per-project at runtime. I’d love feedback on whether this feels useful beyond solo devs, and what you’d want for teams or CI setups. Fully open source:…
- B2Bvckup 2 – Fast File Replicator for Windows2019 · bvckup2.com · ▲154
This is a long-running project that started as the proverbial need to scratch my own itch and then somehow evolved into a full-time job of the past 6 years. Link: https://bvckup2.com I thought I'd do a Show HN for two reasons. 1. I obviously want to show my baby to those who haven't seen it. Its primary purpose is to do very fast file replication. If you are familiar with "robocopy /mir" - same idea, but on steroids. Lots of them. It can be used for both mirroring and archiving backups, among other things. It is light, very small and it is really quite fast. Half of the…
- IBI built Envs.AI – Free env variable manager for dev teams2025 · envs.ai · ▲6
Hi HN, I built Envs.AI, a free tool to solve the headache of managing environment variables across different environments and platforms. Envs.AI lets you store all your environment variables in one secure place and easily integrate them with Jenkins, Python, and other platforms in your tech stack. No more scattered .env files or sharing secrets through Slack messages. Some features: - Central repository for all env variables - Secure storage with proper access controls - Simple integration with CI/CD pipelines - Easy access via API for different languages and frameworks - Team…

I wasn't quite sure if this qualified as "Show HN" given you can't really download it and try it out. However, dang said[0]: > If it's hardware or something that's not so easy to try out over the internet, find a different way to show how it actually works—a video, for example, or a detailed post with photos. Hopefully I did that? Additionally, I've put code and a detailed guide for the netboot computer management setup on GitHub: https://github.com/kentonv/lanparty Anyway, if this shouldn't have been Show HN, I apologize!
