MUTN Password Manager

Pronounced as: "mutton", "muh·tn"

MUTN is a simple, self-hosted, SSH-synchronized password manager based on libmutton.

MUTN is an expanded re-implementation of sshyp written in Go.

Though MUTN will feel very familiar to users of sshyp, it is intended to differ and breaks compatibility with its entry format.

Warning

It is your responsibility to assess the security and stability of MUTN and to ensure it meets your needs before using it. I am not responsible for any data loss or breaches of your information resulting from the use of MUTN. MUTN is a new project that is constantly being updated, and though safety and security are priorities, they cannot be guaranteed.

Mission Statement

MUTN aims to make it as simple as possible to manage passwords and notes via CLI across multiple devices in a secure, self-hosted fashion.

Building

This repository is currently home to both the MUTN client and the general libmutton server software.

Official binaries are stripped of debug info for size and built without CGO (except for distribution packages) for portability, as follows:

CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -ldflags="-s -w" ./mutn.go
CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -ldflags="-s -w" ./libmuttonserver.go

Additionally, some custom build tags can be used to create different binaries. The following tags are not used in official builds:

• wsl: Allows creating a Linux binary that can interact with the Windows clipboard (for WSL)
• termux: Allows creating a Linux binary that can interact with the Termux clipboard (for Android)
