Orange County Lettings - Clinkey

This page explains how to generate strong secrets and passwords using Clinkey.

Web interface

  • Visit the Clinkey web UI: https://dim-gggl.github.io/Clinkey/

Command-line interface

Install via pip:

pip install clinkey-cli

Or via Homebrew tap:

brew tap dim-gggl/homebrew
brew install clinkey

Examples

Generate a strong Django secret key and export it as an environment variable:

DJANGO_SECRET_KEY=$(clinkey -t super_strong -l 64 -s - --lower)

Tips

  • For production, store the generated secret in a secure secret manager (e.g., GitHub Actions secrets, Render environment variables), not in source control.

  • You can also generate other credentials (DB passwords, API keys) with appropriate templates and options.
