OpenBao on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

OpenBao is the open-source fork of Vault: centralized secrets management, encryption as a service, and dynamic credentials. This image gives you a production-ready deployment within minutes of first boot — no dependency wrangling, no manual hardening checklist. Published and maintained by DC Associates Group: freshly rebuilt against current security advisories and deployable straight from the Azure Marketplace into your own subscription.

Version: OpenBao 2.5.5Platform: Ubuntu 24.04 LTSPorts: 8200 (API/UI)Category: Applications

What's included

  • OpenBao 2.5.5 installed from the official upstream source
  • Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base with automatic security updates enabled
  • No shared or default passwords — a unique admin credential is generated on your VM at first boot
  • Trusted Launch support: Secure Boot + vTPM
  • Azure Monitor Agent, Defender for Cloud, and Update Manager install cleanly

Quick start

  1. Deploy from the Azure Marketplace (Get It Now → Create), choosing your SSH key at the Administration step.
  2. Allow inbound SSH (22) for yourself plus the application port(s): 8200 (API/UI) — restrict to your own IP where possible.
  3. Open http://<your-VM-IP>:8200/ui/ in your browser and sign in.
  4. Print the generated admin credential (see the support page) and change it after first sign-in.

Get your admin password (one time)

ssh <your-username>@<VM-IP>
sudo cat /var/lib/openbao/init.json  # unseal keys + root token — move to secure storage

Sign in with the root token from init.json (not a username/password).

Common use cases

  • Centralized secrets management
  • Dynamic database credentials
  • Encryption as a service for apps
  • PKI and certificate issuance
