💖 sigsum-witness — a whole little manual, bestie 💖

okay so this is page sigsum-witness(1) from the User Commands section, and honestly? it's short, it's sweet, it's giving "tiny tool, big responsibilities". let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

sigsum-witness — the girl whose entire job is to cosign a sigsum log 💅

like. that's it. that's the whole thing. she provides a service for cosigning a sigsum log. iconic of her fr.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

sigsum-witness [-v] [--help] [-k file] [--log-key file] [--state-file
file] [--url-prefix string] host:port

yes bestie, she takes a host:port at the end, plus a lil pile of flags. that's the whole summoning ritual 🔥

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay first things first, the flags, because you cannot run this without knowing them and I refuse to let you fumble:

  • --help — Display help. she will simply tell you things 💖
  • -k, --signing-key=file — Witness private key (required). REQUIRED, bestie. no key, no service, no vibes. 🙈
  • --log-key=file — Log public key (required). also REQUIRED. she is not doing this without the log's public key, periodt.
  • --state-file=file — Name of state file (required). yep. REQUIRED. three required things. it's giving "high maintenance but worth it" 💅
  • --url-prefix=string — Prefix preceding the endpoint names. so like, the lil string that goes before the endpoint names. iykyk 🎀
  • -v, --version — Display software version. she'll tell you what version of herself you're dealing with ⭐

so what does she actually do, you ask? 🌈

she provides a service for cosigning a sigsum log (currently, only a single log), listening on the given host and port. one log. one girl. main character energy only ✨

⚠️ be warned: this tool is only used for internal testing. INTERNAL TESTING ONLY. do not build your entire personality or your entire production infrastructure around her, bestie. she's here for the testing era, not the forever era 😭

and that is the whole page, you're welcome, you ate, go cosign something 🧚
