Implement a FUSE filesystem which presents secrets as files about vault

I know this is closed but I've done this. Repo here:

I'd like to second this. I haven't yet grokked all of the vault documentation but one feature that I did think was an excellent idea was the FUSE filesystem that exposes read only secrets.

+1 on this.

Would a template solution like consul template be a simpler fit for this use case?

I'll reserve judgement. If this enhancement can solve the problem of securely managing files like SSH private keys and SSL certs I'm in!

Symlinks to the fuse vault seem like an interesting use case. It's unix
permissions like any other file at that point.

This is great to have 👍

The current way to get something very close is to use a tmpfs volume alongside consul-template

Would love this.

I'm going to close this because there are currently no plans to implement this within Vault itself, however, one of our partners (Asteris) is playing with such a system. I'd encourage you to give them encouragement! https://github.com/asteris-llc/vaultfs
