🔐 pki - Effortless PKI Infrastructure Setup

📜 Overview

Welcome to the pki repository! This project showcases a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) that works seamlessly with a service mesh and mutual TLS (mTLS). It provides a simple way to set up secure communication between services in your applications.

🚀 Getting Started

To get started with pki, follow these steps:

1. Check System Requirements:

1. Go to the Releases page.
2. Choose the version you want to download.
3. Click on the download link for your operating system.
4. Once the download finishes, locate the file and run it.

📂 Features

• Service Mesh Integration: Easily connect different services in your application.
• mTLS Support: Ensure secure connections between services.
• Infrastructure as Code: Manage your infrastructure with simple code templates.
• Bootstrappable: Quickly set up everything you need for a PKI environment.

🛠️ Configuration

After installation, you will need to set up the configuration files. The pki application will guide you through this process. Here is a brief overview of what you will find:

• Configuration File Location: Typically found in the config directory after installation.
• Important Settings:
  • Certificates Path: Specify where to store certificates.
  • Service Endpoints: Configure the services that will use mTLS.

🔍 Example Use Case

Imagine you have several microservices that need to communicate securely. With pki, you can set up mTLS to encrypt the traffic between these services. This setup ensures that only authorized services can connect to each other.

1. Configure Your Services: Arrange your services with the appropriate configurations.
2. Deploy: Run the pki application to start your secure infrastructure.
3. Monitor: Use the built-in tools to monitor connections and troubleshoot issues.

📋 Troubleshooting

Common issues may include connection errors or failed service starts. Here are some tips to resolve them:

• Connection Errors: Ensure that your network settings allow communication between services.
• Service Fails to Start: Check the log files located in the logs directory for error messages.
