Homebrew Vault Formula

Homebrew formulae for Vault, that uses the pre-built releases rather than building it ourselves.

Why not use the core Formula?

The Vault team don't use GitHug tags for their releases.

Please do note for the future though that even if you see a tag on the GitHub page, that tag may float until we arrive on a final build. So a tag is indicative that a release is coming up, but not necessarily indicative of the final commit/packages. - @jefferai in hashicorp/vault#1051

So, the Brew formula isn't really supported by HashiCorp.

This isn't that big of a deal, but the Vault release past 0.10+ has a UI. When trying to run the UI from the Brew installed Vault, you get an error (as it doesn't get built with the UI flag:)

===============
Vault UI is not available in this binary. To get Vault UI do one of the following:

Download an official release
Run make release to create your own release binaries.
Run make dev-ui to create a development binary with the UI.
===============

The build process for this isn't fully documented yet (See: hashicorp/vault#4295), so in the mean time, if you want to use the UI, it's best to just use the official releases and just unzip and move to bin, rather than try and fix the upstream formula.

How do I install this formula?

$ brew tap petems/vault
$ brew install petems/vault-prebuilt/vault

Or directly via the URL:

brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/petems/homebrew-vault-prebuilt/master/Formula/vault.rb
