🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

apptainer key import [import options...]

The 'key import' command allows you to add a key to your local or global keyring from a specific file. That’s it, that’s the vibe. The file is the main character; the keyring is the destination. 🫶

🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

• -g, --global[=false] — manage global public keys (heads up, bestie: import/pull/remove are restricted to root user or unprivileged installation only). 👑
• -h, --help[=false] — help for import. Your “wait, what does this flag do?” bestie. 🫶
• -d, --keysdir="/builddir/.apptainer/keys" — set local keyring dir path. an alternative way is to set environment variable 'APPTAINER_KEYSDIR'. 📁
• --new-password[=false] — set a new password to the private key. 🔐

🎀 EXAMPLE 🎀

$ apptainer key import ./my-key.asc

# Import into global keyring (root user only)
$ apptainer key import --global ./my-key.asc
