# Go Checkpoint Client
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[Checkpoint](http://checkpoint.hashicorp.com) is an internal service at
|
||
|
|
Hashicorp that we use to check version information, broadcoast security
|
||
|
|
bulletins, etc.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We understand that software making remote calls over the internet
|
||
|
|
for any reason can be undesirable. Because of this, Checkpoint can be
|
||
|
|
disabled in all of our software that includes it. You can view the source
|
||
|
|
of this client to see that we're not sending any private information.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Each Hashicorp application has it's specific configuration option
|
||
|
|
to disable chekpoint calls, but the `CHECKPOINT_DISABLE` makes
|
||
|
|
the underlying checkpoint component itself disabled. For example
|
||
|
|
in the case of packer:
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
CHECKPOINT_DISABLE=1 packer build
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Note:** This repository is probably useless outside of internal HashiCorp
|
||
|
|
use. It is open source for disclosure and because our open source projects
|
||
|
|
must be able to link to it.
