Start Vault
In another terminal, start a Vault dev server with root
as the root token.
vault server -dev -dev-root-token-id root
The Vault dev server defaults to running at 127.0.0.1:8200
. The server is initialized and unsealed.
Insecure operation: Do not run a Vault dev server in production. This approach starts a Vault server with an in-memory database and runs in an insecure way.
Export an environment variable for the vault
CLI to address the Vault server.
export VAULT_ADDR=http://127.0.0.1:8200
Export an environment variable for the vault
CLI to authenticate with the Vault server.
export VAULT_TOKEN=root
NOTE: For these tasks, you can use Vault's root token. However, it is recommended that root tokens are only used for enough initial setup or in emergencies. As a best practice, use an authentication method or token that meets the policy requirements.
The Vault server is ready.
