💅 apptainer(1) — the apptainer-key glow-up

okay bestie, welcome to the apptainer(1) manual page 💖 this one's all about apptainer-key, and yes it's giving "short but iconic." let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

apptainer-key — Manage OpenPGP keys 🔑

like, literally. that's the whole job. it manages your OpenPGP keys and it does it well 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

apptainer key [key options...]

that's it. that's the vibe. you call apptainer key and then you sprinkle options on top like glitter ✨

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea ☕ — apptainer key is where you manage your trusted, public and private keys. and you can keep them in your local keyring or in the global keyring, depending on what you're about:

• local keyring — lives at ~/.apptainer/keys if APPTAINER_KEYSDIR is not set 🏠
• global keyring — lives at /etc/apptainer/global-pgp-public 🌍

both paths matter, no cap. the local one is your personal little key home, the global one is the shared situation. iykyk 💜

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -h, --help[=false] — help for key 🫶 that's the whole option list, bestie. one (1) option. and honestly? she ate 👑

---

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

all the group commands have their own help output — so if you're lost, just ask them directly, they love to talk:

All group commands have their own help output:

$ apptainer help key newpair
$ apptainer key list --help

like, look at that. apptainer help key newpair if you want the deets on making a new pair, apptainer key list --help if you just wanna know how to list. iconic. 🎀
