The README file has been updated with thorough installation instructions. Changes range from introducing binary and package releases, including their verification using GPG signature, to refactoring the source code installation steps. Additionally, instructions for specific platforms like FreeBSD, Arch Linux, Debian/Redhat/Alpine, etc., have been improved for clarity.
The repetitive code used for password character counting in different scenarios has been consolidated into a single function, matchesMinimumAmount(). This extraction simplifies the main function and makes the code more maintainable, while maintaining the functionality of checking whether the password meets certain character count criteria.
The error message within the test case had a typographical error. The word "length" was incorrectly spelled as "lenght". This has been fixed to enhance the readability of the code.
A new unit test has been added to verify GetCharRangeFromConfig() function. The test ensures that the function properly excludes configured characters from the generated range.
The version number in several instances in the README file and apg.go has been modified from v2.0.0 to v1.0.0. This more accurately reflects the version where the changes were implemented and ensures consistency across all documentation.
Updated the "Winni Neessen" Software signing key contact details in the README file for better readability and neatness. This conveys the same information but in a more compressed, comprehensible manner.
Updated the README file to document new features added in the codebase: codecov badge, pre-built package usage, fixed-length password flag usage, coinflip mode, and the minimum required characters. The goreleaser configuration (`.goreleaser.yaml`) was cleaned up, removing unnecessary sections for docker usage. This clarifies how to execute certain functionalities and makes the goreleaser configuration easier to read and maintain.
A codecov.yml configuration file has been added to specify the coverage target and other codecov settings. The CI pipeline has also been streamlined to directly generate the coverage profile without using grep for filtering ignored code paths. This makes it easier to understand and maintain the testing and coverage reporting process.
The codecov workflow in the CI pipeline has been adjusted to produce more accurate coverage profiles. Previously covered but now-ignored code has been removed from the coverage profile by filtering out desired patterns with 'grep'.
Set file permission during Docker copy action
The Dockerfile has been updated to set the file permission to 555 during the copy action for '/builddir/apg-go'. This change ensures that the appropriate user permissions are set right from when the image is built.
The identifiers include the FileCopyrightText for the years 2021-2024 attributed to Winni Neessen, and the License to be under MIT. This addition brings the file into compliance with licensing standards.
Added a new workflow in '.github/workflows/codecov.yml' that runs on all three OS: Ubuntu, MacOS, and Windows with '1.22' version of Go. This workflow performs a test coverage check and then uploads the coverage data to Codecov. The workflow is activated on every 'push' or 'pull request' to the 'main' branch.
Created a new file "main.go" to add a simple password generator script using the apg library. This piece of code generates a random password with a fixed length of 15 characters including special characters, numeric, lower and uppercase letters.
Project URLs have been changed in several files from "src.neessen.cloud/wneessen/apg-go" to "github.com/wneessen/apg-go". In addition, Dockerfile has been significantly refactored. It now includes steps for tidy and verify of Go modules and builds a statically linked binary. Several metadata files have been added with copyright information.
The .goreleaser.yaml configuration been updated to remove the redundant output line under docker_signs. This change simplifies the configuration without changing the functionality of Docker image signing. The password for the Docker registry is still sourced from the 'COSIGN_PWD' environment variable.
The .goreleaser.yaml configuration has been updated to include Docker image signing. This is accomplished by utilizing 'docker_signs' and specifying 'artifacts: all', allowing to process and authenticate all output Docker images. The user's password for the Docker registry is taken from the environment variable 'COSIGN_PWD'.
The Dockerfile has been streamlined to remove unnecessary steps and over-complications. Previously the setup involved building in a separate stage and copying files over, which has now been simplified to just copying the necessary executable to the scratch container and specifying the entry point.
Extended the .goreleaser.yaml configuration with build_flag_templates options for the Docker image. These new flags introduce image labels for open containers, which provides more detailed image information including the creation date, project name, revision, and version.
Added four Docker image templates in the .goreleaser.yaml file. The newly introduced templates specify the image tags based on the version, making it easier to handle different versions of the Docker image for the "apg-go" project.
The Docker build command in the GitHub workflow file (docker.yml) now requires sudo privileges. Additionally, the Dockerfile has been expanded to not only tidy up and verify the Go modules project but also to alter the build path for the "apg-go" executable.
The GitHub Workflow (docker.yml) has been refactored to replace docker-compose with docker. This involves changes in the installation instructions and the commands to build and test the Docker image. This simplifies the workflow and allows the use of standard Docker commands instead of docker-compose.
Docker-compose installation has been moved in the GitHub Workflow (docker.yml) from the "test" to the "build" phase. This change ensures docker-compose is installed early on, making it available throughout the entire process. The steps include updating the package list, installing docker-compose, and confirming its installation.
The GitHub Workflow (docker.yml) now includes a step for installing docker-compose. This addition ensures that docker-compose is available within the Docker container, which is necessary for performing complex multi-container tasks. The installation process involves updating the package list, installing docker-compose, and verifying its location.
The Docker image creation and pushing procedures have been moved from the goreleaser.yaml file to a separate GitHub Workflow file docker.yml. This shift gives a more granular control over the Docker image build and push operations with specific GitHub Actions. Also, added the Dockerfile instructions and docker-files for image building to cope up with the changed Docker process.
A new Docker image template has been added to the .goreleaser.yaml file. Specifically, the image template 'wneessen/apg-go' was introduced under the 'dockers' configuration, allowing smoother configuration for Docker-based implementations.
We've added new configuration options for setting minimum counts of lowercase, numeric, special, and uppercase characters in passwords. The HIBP check feature has also been removed due to redundancy. Note: High values for these character minimums may lead to long calculation times.
This commit introduces new methods to enable HIBP checks, exclude specific characters, and set a fixed password length in the password generator configuration. It also includes tests to verify that these new options work correctly in the password configuration.
This commit introduces two new badges to the README file. The first badge directs users to the project's Discord server, promoting community contributions. The second badge verifies that the project complies with REUSE software recommendations, ensuring users of the project's commitment to best practices in software development.
