🌸 NAME 🌸

sq-network-keyserver-publish β€” publish certificates on key servers 🫢


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

sq network keyserver publish [OPTIONS]

yes that's it. three little words and a pile of options, she's simple but she's powerful πŸ’…


✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so the whole vibe here is: publish certificates on key servers. that's the main character job.

what it actually does: it sends certificates to the configured key servers so they get published. πŸ“¬ and by default, bestie, it sends them to all of these:

  • hkps://keys.openpgp.org
  • hkps://mail-api.proton.me
  • hkps://keys.mailvelope.com
  • hkps://keyserver.ubuntu.com
  • hkps://sks.pod01.fleetstreetops.com

five servers, no cap. but if that lineup isn't your vibe you can tweak it with --servers and pick your own crew. πŸ’β™€οΈ


🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

πŸ¦‹ Subcommand options

  • --cert=FINGERPRINT|KEYID β€” use the certificates with that specific fingerprint or key ID. got a fingerprint? a key ID? drop it here and she'll grab those certs. πŸ”
  • --cert-domain=DOMAIN β€” use certificates where a user ID includes an email address for the domain you name. so if you want everybody at DOMAIN, this is the one. 🌐
  • --cert-email=EMAIL β€” use certificates where a user ID includes that exact email address you passed. one email, one target, very demure. πŸ“§
  • --cert-file=PATH β€” read certificates straight from PATH. your file, your certs. πŸ“‚
  • --cert-userid=USERID β€” use certificates with that specific user ID. 🏷️
  • --server=URI β€” set a key server to use, and yes you can give this one multiple times if you're feeling extra. πŸ—‚οΈβœ¨

the default can be changed in the configuration file using the setting network.keyservers.

[default: hkps://keys.openpgp.org, hkps://mail-api.proton.me, hkps://keys.mailvelope.com, hkps://keyserver.ubuntu.com, hkps://sks.pod01.fleetstreetops.com]
