Hi @nagyesta ,
your lowkeyvault is awesome and it helps us a lot in our tests! The LowKeyVault is started as a docker container.

Is there a way to purge the LowKeyVault completely? Right now, I am restarting the container completely, so every secret I created is gone. This is quite time consuming and on the pipeline, SSL errors occurr. I was unable to narrow it down, it might be that I need to add a sleep after the restart delaying it more.

Hi @JoeS-Bosch ,

thank you very much for your feedback! I think the Management endpoints might be exactly what you need: https://github.com/nagyesta/lowkey-vault/tree/main?tab=readme-ov-file#management-api
There should be one which is deleting a vault and another that can purge it. This way the container can remain alive, but the contents should be gone.

Please feel free to open an issue in case it is not working as expected, happy to help!

It works with Delete, Purge, then Create. Thank you very much!

One minor issue:
All your endpoint require Content-Type to be set to 'application/json'. While swagger does this implicitely, you have to create a workaround for programmatic HttpClients (e.g. in C#, I have to add an empty StringContent to the body).
Normally, get and delete requests, don't need a body or this type of header.

Hi @JoeS-Bosch ,
thank you for letting me know! That is a bug in my opinion, so I have created #1040 to track and fix it. Please feel free to follow the updates on that ticket.
