step-cli-tools is designed to simplify using the step-ca command-line interface step-cli whilst adding a few extra features.
I made this tool to learn more about Python and publishing packages to PyPI. Since I am running my own step-ca server for my private infrastructure, I was looking for a way to easily request certificates for my various services. Basically, I threw a bunch of libraries together and this was the result.
There is probably a better way to do this, but this is what I came up with. Maybe you will find it useful too!
Install / upgrade with pip:
pip install step-cli-tools --upgradeStart the tool:
sct| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Manage root CA certificates | Install & uninstall your root CA certificate easily |
| Request certificates | Request TLS certificates from your step-ca server |
| Platform | Status |
|---|---|
| Ubuntu Server | ✅ |
| Windows 11 | ✅ |
| Debian | Unverified |
| macOS | Unverified |
| Windows 10 | Unverified |
The tool should work on the unverified platforms, but they have not been actively tested. User feedback on these systems is welcome!
- vhs → creation of the terminal GIF
- step-cli → the magic under the hood
- Inkscape → program used to design the logo
- Python dependencies → several useful libraries
I appreciate your constructive and honest feedback. Feel free to create an issue or feature request.
