S3 is just storage. It's not a hard drive or a computer, it's just object storage.

If you're storing your .exe in S3 then there's some options to use Lambda to run the exe. You could also run a EC2 instance or access the S3 bucket with IAM credentials from a locally hosted server. It all depends on what you're doing.

Squid proxy might be something of interest to you.

It seems like an alternative to HashiCorp Vault, so integration into deployment pipelines would be a huge bonus.

OP doesn't specify what they would use the secrets manager for, but Infisical seems to be a good cross between something like Bitwarden and something like Vault.

So what we're looking at is probably two or three systems here. I can't help you on what systems integrate.

Documentation

This is for general documentation. SOPs, etc.

I generally advise documentation be stored in Markdown. This is after decades of having to migrate systems or being locked into a documentation system because a migration path was too timely.

Markdown is ultra portable and easy to store/backup. You can get change management interfaces for it, or store it in Git if you have to.

Even something like mdwiki would do the trick in a pinch. The value you see out of this lies in how well you keep it organized and how well you use it.

Client Secrets

This will be served by a secrets manager like https://github.com/Infisical/infisical

I've never used it but I've seen it recommended and it seems like a good project.

I've used things like KeePass, Bitwarden andOnePass. My preference would probably be none of them, but I do like Bitwarden for a personal vault.

Asset Management

This should be handled by an asset management system. This is for things like licenses, hardware, etc.

Snipe-IT was actually my pick for this. Just for assets though, nothing else.

I understand that this isn't going to answer your question, but maybe ask why you want a web ui over a local app.

I've gone through this too and when I thought about it, I realized:

  • My phone has K9
  • My tablet has K9
  • My computer has Thunderbird

No other devices access my email or calendar, and a web mail client isn't really where I want to go. I originally wanted a web client so that I could access my email from my work computer when I was in the office, however it was too much of a security risk just to avoid picking up my phone.

I'll get Nextcloud going for this just to test, but I know that I likely won't use it much.
