Overview OpenBao is an open source, community driven secrets management platform: a Linux Foundation project and the MPL-2.0 licensed fork of Vault. It centrally stores, accesses and tightly controls access to tokens, passwords, certificates, API keys and other secrets, and provides encryption as a service so applications never have to handle raw keys. This image delivers OpenBao fully installed and configured as a system service backed by integrated raft storage, so a working secrets engine is running within minutes of launch.
Application Stack The single static bao server binary installed under /usr/local/bin and run by a dedicated unprivileged service account. The encrypted secret store on integrated raft storage on a dedicated data disk so the store is independently resizable. A systemd service that starts the server on boot, initializes it on first boot and automatically unseals it after a reboot. The built-in web UI and the full HTTP API published on port 8200.
Secrets Management Enable secrets engines for key/value secrets, dynamic database credentials, PKI certificate issuance, SSH, transit encryption as a service and more. Authenticate with tokens, AppRole, userpass, JWT/OIDC or cloud auth methods, and govern every path with fine grained policies. Drive everything from the web UI, the bao CLI or the HTTP API.
Secure First Boot On the first boot of your instance a one shot service initializes the store, captures the single unseal key and the initial root token unique to that instance, unseals the server and writes both to a root only file. No shared or default credentials, no pre-initialized store and no preset unseal key ship in the image.
Auto Unseal Across Reboots A dedicated service re-unseals the server automatically after every reboot so the appliance returns to a healthy, ready state unattended. The user guide documents switching to AWS KMS auto-unseal and enabling TLS for production deployments.
cloudimg Support 24/7 technical support by email and chat. Help with deployment, secrets engine and auth method configuration, policies, PKI, transit encryption, AWS KMS auto-unseal, TLS, raft storage and backup.
Use Cases A central secrets store for applications and CI/CD pipelines. Dynamic, short lived database and cloud credentials. PKI and internal certificate authority. Encryption as a service. A drop in open source alternative to Vault for teams that need an MPL-2.0 licence.

Additional details
Usage instructions
Connect via SSH on port 22 as the default login user for your operating system variant (the user guide lists it per variant). The OpenBao web UI and HTTP API are served on port 8200: browse to http://<instance-public-ip>:8200/ and sign in with the Token method using the initial root token. Retrieve the root token and the unseal key with: sudo cat /root/openbao-credentials.txt. From the CLI export BAO_ADDR=http://<instance-public-ip>:8200 and run bao login with the root token, then enable secrets engines and auth methods. The encrypted store lives on a dedicated raft data disk mounted at /var/lib/openbao. For production, follow the user guide to enable TLS and switch to AWS KMS auto-unseal, then create your own admin auth method and revoke the initial root token.
