✨ NAME ✨

container-key — bestie, this is the little guy that manages the GnuPG keyring for container operations 💅

okay so this is the container-key manual page, from the General Commands Manual section, and I'm gonna walk you through it like we're texting at 2am 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

container key ['OPTIONS']

that's it. that's the whole vibe check ✨

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

The container key command manages the GnuPG keyring for container operations.

like... it's the keeper of the keys 🔑 it holds the GnuPG keyring, and the containers be trusting it. that's the whole job. iconic behavior, honestly.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

The following container key options are available, and yes you're getting all three, no skips:

  • -a, --add='KEY_FILE|KEY_ID' — adds a key to the keyring 🫶 you can hand it a KEY_FILE or a KEY_ID, dealer's choice.
  • -l, --list — lists the keys chillin' in the keyring 📋
  • -r, --remove='KEY' — removes a key from the keyring 💀 give it the KEY you want gone.

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

add a key to the keyring manually

fr fr, you can do it by hand like this:

gpg --keyserver hkps://keys.openpgp.org --recv 0x55CF1BF986ABB9C7 gpg
--armor --export 0x55CF1BF986ABB9C7 | sudo container key --add -

assisted adding of the same key

okay but the ✨assisted✨ way is so much cuter, look:

sudo container key --add 0x55CF1BF986ABB9C7

same key, way less typing, main character energy 👑

remove a key from the keyring

sudo container key --remove 0x55CF1BF986ABB9C7

bye bestie 👋

list keys in the keyring

sudo container key --list

the receipts. all of them. 📜
