Clients

Your application opens a vault and reads its secrets through a client: a library that connects to the Valt0 service on your machine and asks it for the secrets you need. Clients are imported straight into your code, so they are quick to install and simple to use.

While you develop, the Valt0 service has to be installed and running on your own machine. See Installation for how to set it up.

If your application runs inside a container while you develop, its client still uses that service running on your machine outside the container. How to connect the two is explained in From a container.
