Need help to enable autosign

[nebulon]

The permissions can be fixed up with:

chmod 600 /app/data/appdata/home/.gnupg/*
chmod 700 /app/data/appdata/home/.gnupg

However, this is also only a warning, not sure if this is the root cause. Are there any keys in the folder itself?

[jaschaezra]

Oh, no, my key is gone. That is odd as I never touched the key after it worked.

After creating a new key and configuring it in app.ini and restarting gitea I still get an error:

Update: Gitea does not get the signing key. The response of https://git.jascha.wtf/api/v1/signing-key.gpg is empty

My best guess is that there are some path poblems - https://docs.gitea.com/administration/signing

[jaschaezra]

Oh, forgot to mention @nebulon

[joseph]

@jaschaezra are your GPG keys password protected ? (See also https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/repository/signed_commits/gpg.html#gpg-fails-to-sign-data)

@jaschaezra said in Need help to enable autosign:

Did a quick test. Setting GNUPGHOME env var makes it work. You can use CLI tool for this cloudron env set GPGHOME=/app/data/appdata/home/.gnupg . But I think we should set this in the package itself.

[girish]

Well, I am confused. For me, it works out of the box. See this comment from @nebulon - https://forum.cloudron.io/post/55637

• GNUPGHOME is already to /app/data/gnupg
• Just put your keys in above directory
• curl https://gitea.domain.com/api/v1/signing-key.gpg works
• Create empty repo.
