Generate a Proxy Secret

Proxies must be seeded with a PROXY_SECRET. Generating these secrets will soon be done through the Console, but for now they are generated by a simple command on linux or windows.

To create your own Proxy Secret in Linux, simply run the following command after inserting your Gatekeeper Name.

echo "{
  \"name\": \"<Gatekeeper Name>\",
  \"id\": \"$(uuidgen | tr A-Z a-z)\"
}" | base64

If you are on a Windows device, use the following command via powershell:

[Convert]::ToBase64String([System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes('{
"name": "<Gatekeeper Name>",
"id": "'+[System.Guid]::NewGuid()+'"
}'))

Gatekeeper names and IDs must be unique. Make sure to generate a new PROXY_SECRET for every Gatekeeper.
