Store env vars per environment, track changes over time, see who changed what and when. The audit trail for your config that nobody else builds.
Every operation in Bandolier is available through a JSON REST API. No SDK required — use curl, fetch, or any HTTP client.
GET /api/env_vars — list all env_vars with optional search and filter query parametersPOST /api/env_vars — create a new envvar recordGET /api/env_vars/{id} — retrieve a single envvar by IDPUT /api/env_vars/{id} — update an existing envvarDELETE /api/env_vars/{id} — remove a envvarGET /api/stats — aggregated statisticsGET /api/health — health check endpoint for monitoringThe moment you store env vars in someone else's cloud, you have accepted their terms, their pricing changes, and their uptime. Bandolier puts that decision back in your hands with a standalone binary that runs anywhere you can run a Linux process.
A freelance consultant keeps Bandolier running on a home server. Client env vars stay on local disk, which simplifies the privacy section of every contract. The search endpoint powers a custom dashboard built with a static site generator. Total infrastructure cost: the electricity to run a Raspberry Pi.
Start Bandolier with a port and a data directory. It creates its SQLite database on first run and serves both the API and the dashboard on the same port. Create env vars through the web interface or POST JSON to the API. Filter by value, environment, or search by keyword. Update records with PUT, delete with DELETE. The stats endpoint returns aggregate counts for monitoring.
