# GPG Key Repo
Purpose: Manage gpg keys for:
* SOPS
# Key Management
## 1. Onboarding: howto create and add a gpg key
- please follow instruction on following link: https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/managing-commit-signature-verification/generating-a-new-gpg-key
- add ONLY the _PUBLIC_ part of your gpg key!!!
- checkin via MergeRequest/PullRequest
### import gpg keys
```shell
gpg --import /path/to/keys/*.gpg.pub
```
### list imported gpg keys
```shell
gpg --list-keys --keyid-format=long
### groups
Access for each repo is tracked using the `./groups/` directory; each sub-directory represents a "group" (Note: some "groups" are also "roles", e.g. `admin`)
```bash
cd groups/<project_name>
ln -s ../../<path_to_key.gpg.pub>
```
## 2. Offboarding: Archive Expired Keys (EOL)
To mark a key as expired, move it to the `archive/` dir as follows:
```bash
mv ${keyname} "archive/${keyname}_$(date '+%Y-%m-%d').archive"
```
## 3. Configure sops config
Context: This repo stores the keys used to encrypt secrets in other repos; these "consumer" repos each contain a sops config `.sops.yaml` which manages access to the encrypted files (e.g. `secrets.yaml`)
The following commands explain how to update the `.sops.yaml` for a repository:
```bash
# E.g. update sops config for DevNSO
% git clone git@git.dev-at.de:cloud-solutions/nso/devnso-adp-argocd.git
% cd devnso-adp-argocd/
# List available groups
% ${PATH_TO_THIS_REPO}/bin/update_sops.sh --list_groups
# INFO: listing groups
admin
automation
devnso-adp-argocd
# For a given group, update sops config and specified secrets file
% ${PATH_TO_THIS_REPO}/bin/update_sops.sh -r devnso-adp-argocd -s ./adp-api-devs/adp-api-devs/secrets.yaml
% git diff
```
# Configure SOPS
SOPS is used for encrypting secrets, e.g. credentials for various systems
## Install
https://github.com/getsops/sops
Note:
* MacOS: If desired, one can also use brew to install sops: `brew install sops`; although this is not officially maintained, [the formula is essentially the same as the official installation instructions](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/4496ce5131bc09e7065fa0aa8fb96366a3df6477/Formula/s/sops.rb)
## Usage
Decrypt and Display Secrets in Terminal:
```bash
GPG_TTY=$(tty) sops secrets.yaml
```
Note: The `GPG_TTY` is necessary to have the password prompt appear. src: https://www.varokas.com/secrets-in-code-with-mozilla-sops/
Note: `secrets.yaml` is just an example; the file can have any name
## Example - Manual
The steps in the following example can be run locally in order to:
* create a sample secrets file
* encrypt the file
* decrypt the file
If these steps work, sops configured correctly - on your machine ;-)
```bash
#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -ueo pipefail
# demo: create a file with a mock secret, src: https://bash-org-archive.com/?244321
# PREREQUISITE: valid sops config, i.e. .sops.yaml - Note: most repos already have one
# further reading: https://github.com/getsops/sops?tab=readme-ov-file#using-sops-yaml-conf-to-select-kms-pgp-and-age-for-new-files
yq -n '.demo.credentials.secret = "hunter2"' > secrets.yaml
# encrypt
sops -e -i secrets.yaml
# decript, print to console
sops -d secrets.yaml
```
## Example - Automation
```shell
cd verify/
./usr_confirm_keycfg.sh
```

Tests: `./verify/test.sh`
Caveat: requires working SOPS config,pgp key, etc
