#### Tool to initialize and unseal a Juju-deployed Vault cluster.

Automates the initialization or unsealing of a Juju-deployed Vault cluster.
It natively supports both Juju Machine and Juju Kubernetes deployments
(such as Canonical Sunbeam), managing leader-finding, unsealing all units,
and automatically authorizing the Juju charm.

It securely manages credentials by storing the root token and each
unseal key in separate GPG-encrypted files, enabling hardware-backed
security (YubiKey) and separation of duties.

It features a robust 3-tier loading system:

1. Auto-detects keys in the credentials directory.
2. Falls back to prompting for individual file paths.
3. Provides a final fallback for raw, manual key entry.

This snap bundles 'jq', 'vault', and 'gpg'. It requires the 'juju'
command to be installed on the host system.

How to install:

```
sudo snap install un-seal
```

then, connect the necessary interfaces:

```
sudo snap connect un-seal:dot-local-share-juju
sudo snap connect un-seal:gpg-keys
sudo snap connect un-seal:pcscd #[optional]
```
