KeePassXC

chezmoi includes support for KeePassXC using the KeePassXC CLI (keepassxc-cli) to expose data as a template function.

Provide the path to your KeePassXC database in your configuration file:

~/.config/chezmoi/chezmoi.toml

[keepassxc]
    database = "/home/user/Passwords.kdbx"

The structured data from keepassxc-cli show $database is available as the keepassxc template function in your config files, for example:

username = {{ (keepassxc "example.com").UserName }}
password = {{ (keepassxc "example.com").Password }}

Additional attributes are available through the keepassxcAttribute function. For example, if you have an entry called SSH Key with an additional attribute called private-key, its value is available as:

{{ keepassxcAttribute "SSH Key" "private-key" }}

Info

The KeePassXC CLI does not currently support any persistent login, which means that you will have to enter your password every time you run chezmoi.

Support for non-password authentication methods (e.g. YubiKey) is currently poor. For more information, see this GitHub issue.
