I'm not sure if anyone here has any experience with what I'm looking for, but hopefully you guys can help!
I'm trying to find some TUI-based Certificate Management software. I'm basically looking for something exactly like TinyCA, XCA, or gnoMint, but without the overhead of a full GUI or a web server. Something that I can containerize and expose through SSH, that's a bit more user friendly than remembering all the OpenSSL commands.
Right now, I'm using gnoMint in a TinyCore VM, and while that works and is very lightweight, the GUI requirement makes it slightly more clunky than I'd like for our use case (starting VNC is a lot more obnoxious than a quick ssh command). Because of the way we're using these CAs, a single centralized solution (like a single instance of OpenXPKI or EJBCA) is not a working solution.
I'm tempted to program something like I want in Python and Curses, but before I go down that road, I wanted to see if anyone had any experience with a similar solution.
