It simplifies node setup by handling image downloads, verification, and writing with utmost security, targeting only removable USB devices to protect internal systems.
Key Features
Secure Image Flashing: Safely flashes official Vault Node images to USB drives, verifying SHA-256 checksums against published digests for integrity.
Verification Process: Includes read-back checks post-write to ensure data accuracy and reliability.
WiFi Presetting Option: Allows optional preconfiguration of WiFi settings before deployment.
Synology NAS Support: Enables node setup on Synology NAS using Container Manager, either automatically or through a guided process.
Node Management: Manages node operations, including app hosting, device pairing, storage management, and health monitoring.
Target Audience and Benefits

Vault Manager offers secure and efficient node setup, easy management capabilities, and cross-platform support, enhancing productivity and system reliability. Available via winget for seamless installation.
README
Vault Flasher — releases
> Pick a stick. Click Flash. Boot a node.
Official download mirror for Vault Flasher, the one-click USB flasher for
Vault Node images. Pick a USB stick, click
Flash — the app downloads the current node image, verifies its SHA-256 against
the release's published digest, writes it (one admin prompt), and verifies the
write by reading it back. Only removable USB drives are ever offered — never an
internal or system disk.
The installer is currently unsigned, so SmartScreen warns on first run. That is
expected: click More info, then Run anyway. (Verify the installer's
SHA-256 against the release notes if you want certainty.) A SmartScreen-free
winget install CCGnomes.VaultFlasher path is in progress.
One-click launch from the web
Installing registers the vaultflasher:// link handler, so setup pages can
open the app pre-filled:
vaultflasher://flash?tag=&arch=
The link only pre-fills tag/arch (it can never carry a URL or start a write) —
flashing always requires clicking Flash in the app.
