What is mkpasswd?

mkpasswd tool encrypts a given password with the crypt(3) libc function using a given salt.

Getting Started

There are a couple of things needed for the script to work.

Prerequisites

Docker, either the Community Edition (CE) or Enterprise Edition (EE), needs to be installed on your local computer.

Docker

Docker installation instructions can be found here.

Usage

To start a container with this image and run the tool (in interactive mode) use the following command (the container will be deleted after exiting the shell):

docker container run --rm --interactive --tty fscm/mkpasswd

To do the same in a non-interactive node add the password that you wish to encrypt at the end of the previous command, like so:

docker container run --rm --interactive --tty fscm/mkpasswd my_password

By default, the mkpasswd tool will encrypt the password with the 'Yescrypt' method.

To view a list of the available methods use the following command:

docker container run --rm --interactive --tty fscm/mkpasswd -m help

To view a list of all of the available options use the following command:

docker container run --rm --interactive --tty fscm/mkpasswd --help
