How to set up local AWS Secrets Manager Docker container for local testing purposes?

Question

I'm looking to set up a local Docker instance of AWS Secrets Manager.

I've been scouring the web for an image or anything of the sort that I can use. I can only find documentation for AWS ECS secrets management.

Does anyone have any experience with setting up AWS Secrets Manager for local testing through Docker? Thanks!

Good question!
You could run localstack [1] inside a docker container. It mocks some of the AWS services for testing purposes. AWS Secrets Manager is supported at http://localhost:4584 by default.
There are some useful blog posts covering localstack. [2][3]

However, I could not find any blog post covering AWS Secrets Manager on localstack. I guess you have to try it out yourself.
