Gnome Vault

GTK4 + Adwaita app for pass. Written in Rust ❤️

Uses:

• Adwaita
• Gtk-rs
• blueprint

Requirements (build or dev)

• rust or rustup
• meson

Optional for UI development:

• blueprint-compiler

Use rustup if you require multiples rust env (similarly to other tools like pyenv, nvm, rbenv, …)

blueprint-compiler is only required when editing .blp UI files. Release tarballs ship generated .ui files, so they can be built without it.

Usage

• User must have GPG Key in their wallet. Use Gnome Seahorse to create one if none appears.
• User should install pass cli tool before, although not required.

If user want to sync, it requires a private git remote project, with working git access (git-credential configured, or ssh access). Project will default on ~/.password-store, yet configurable with env var PASSWORD_STORE_DIR.

Consider using pass cli for a guaranteed functional git env

Install

meson setup build --prefix="$HOME/.local"
meson compile -C build
meson install -C build

To force a build that does not use blueprint-compiler:

meson setup build --prefix="$HOME/.local" -Dblueprint=disabled
meson compile -C build
meson install -C build

Dev

Run only once!

meson setup build

Install blueprint-compiler for development so changes to assets/ui/**/*.blp are compiled into the GTK templates.

Compile

cd build;
meson compile

Run

Dev-only for now:

cd build;
./target/debug/gnome-vault

Test

cd build
cargo test

Doc

cd build
cargo doc
