okay bestie, welcome to the User Commands section of the manual, and this one is all about yeeting your certificates onto key servers. it's giving β¨publication eraβ¨ and honestly? iconic. let's get into it.
πΈ NAME πΈ
sq-network-keyserver-publish β publish certificates on key servers π«Ά
π SYNOPSIS π
sq network keyserver publish [OPTIONS]
yes that's it. three little words and a pile of options, she's simple but she's powerful π
β¨ DESCRIPTION β¨
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. π¬ and by default, bestie, it sends them to all of these:
hkps://keys.openpgp.orghkps://mail-api.proton.mehkps://keys.mailvelope.comhkps://keyserver.ubuntu.comhkps://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. πβοΈ
π OPTIONS π
π¦ Subcommand options
--cert=FINGERPRINT|KEYIDβ 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. π--cert-domain=DOMAINβ 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. π--cert-email=EMAILβ use certificates where a user ID includes that exact email address you passed. one email, one target, very demure. π§--cert-file=PATHβ read certificates straight from PATH. your file, your certs. π--cert-userid=USERIDβ use certificates with that specific user ID. π·οΈ--server=URIβ set a key server to use, and yes you can give this one multiple times if you're feeling extra. ποΈβ¨
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]
like, that's the whole starting lineup right there in the default. π
