Tool for a disaster recovery of Odoo's vault module

vault-recovery

This tool provides utilities for a disaster recovery for the Odoo vault module from database backups or formerly exported files. The backups need atleast the following tables for the recovery:

• res_users
• res_users_key
• vault
• vault_entry
• vault_field
• vault_file
• vault_right

Installation

$ pip3 install vault-recovery

Security

Do not run the recover or decrypt mode on the server. This will compromise the security design of the vault module.

Usage

The tool supports different operation modes for specific purposes.

vault info [...] can be used to retrieve information from a postgres database about available vaults. It can be used to get UUIDs of users and vaults with some additional information. The UUIDs are used in other modes.

$ vault info -d odoo
User: admin [6cf47287-d791-44a0-b073-78659959ca3f]
  Fingerprint: 61:a7:70:73:75:06:61:ad:fc:0e:9a:3c:bd:99:a0:17:be:7f:35:5e:31:d0:80:e4:fd:cc:90:ac:be:5b:e8:82
  Vaults:
    Test Vault [cee24057-4318-46b8-b227-05ec687df64e]

vault export [...] can be used to export vaults from a database into exported files. These files include everything from the database which is needed to recover the database including the encrypted master key, private key, and entries.

$ vault export -d odoo --user 6cf47287-d791-44a0-b073-78659959ca3f > vaults.json

vault recover [...] can be used to recover the secrets from a vault. It can recover from a database or from a previously exported exported file as the following example shows. The data is put inside of the output directory as raw, plain, and encrypted files.

$ vault recover -d odoo -i vaults.json --password --output ~/vaults

vault encrypt [...] can be used to protect raw files with password or passfiles.

$ vault encrypt -i raw.json --password > encrypted.json

vault decrypt [...] can be used to decrypt encrypted files.

$ vault decrypt -i encrypted.json --password -o ~/vaults > raw.json

Files types

The tool outputs various JSON files for different purposes to store the data and to allow splitting the process into steps. All files are structured as a dictionary with a type key. The following types exists:

• exported: contains all information needed to recover vaults. They can be used to recover the data on more secure environments.

• plain: contains the most information of a recovered vault. These files are unencrypted.

• raw: contains unencrypted entries ready to be imported into a running vault

• encrypted: contains encrypted entries ready to be imported into a running vault
