Setting up a local development environment

You'll first need Go properly installed on your machine. You can follow Go's documentation on how to get started.

Clone this repository inside Go's workspace. The workspace path is generally mapped into the GOPATH environment variable.

git clone git@github.com:erozario/vault-auth-google.git $GOPATH/src

Create a temporary directory to compile the plugin into and to use as the plugin directory for Vault.

mkdir -p /tmp/vault-plugins

Compile the plugin into the temporary directory.

cd $GOPATH/src/vault-auth-google && go build -o /tmp/vault-plugins/vault-auth-google

Create a configuration file that sets the temporary directory as the Vault's plugin directory.

tee /tmp/vault.hcl <<EOF
plugin_directory = "/tmp/vault-plugins"
EOF

Start the Vault server in development mode, referencing the configuration file.

vault server -dev -dev-root-token-id="root" -config=/tmp/vault.hcl &

Leave this running and open a new tab or terminal window. Authenticate to Vault:

export VAULT_ADDR='http://127.0.0.1:8200'
vault login root
