cocoa

Password generator service

What can cocoa do for me?

cocoa is a service which can generate 1 or many passwords using a mnemonic word list, and email you the result(s). The password(s) is not logged, or saved anywhere.

How do I run cocoa?

cocoa can be up and running in 3 steps! When run in a production environment, it's recommended that you use NGINX to terminate SSL, and reverse proxy to cocoa. Using a daemon like upstart (on Linux) to run cocoa is ideal.

1. Clone this repository, or install from npm:
   1. $ npm install cocoa
   2. $ ln -s node_modules/cocoa/config.json config.json
   3. $ ln -s node_modules/cocoa/index.js index.js
2. (Optional) Edit config.json to configure your email server, etc.
3. Run via node index.js.

Upstart

Use the provided upstart recipe: sudo sh -c 'cp node_modules/cocoa/cocoa.conf /etc/init; service cocoa start;'

Systemd

Use the provided systemd service: sudo sh -c 'cp node_modules/cocoa/cocoa.service /etc/systemd/system; systemctl enable cocoa; systemctl start cocoa;'

What about Windows?

It runs great on Windows, but you're on your own to daemonize it!
