gpg

ansible-gpg

Ansible module to import and remove GPG-keys using keybase.io or files.

Based on the work by Brandon Kalinowski and Thelonius Kort. Updated so that this can be published to ansible-galaxy.

With this module, managing gpg keys is very simple. Just specify the keybase username and either the key email or key fingerprint. You can also import keys from files.

The ansible fetch_url method is used for secure download of public keys over https.

When using key_file, the key_id is automatically determined from the file.

In addition to adding keybase.io functionality, this module also now automatically marks added keys as ultimately trusted, enabling the provisioned machine to encrypt files for the imported users.

Options

name default description
keybase_user null The Username to fetch on Keybase. The module will download https://keybase.io//pgp_keys.asc automatically when specified. Requires key_id to be defined
key_id null The id of the key to be fetched and imported. Only applicable to public keys. Either key_file or key_id is required.
key_file null Filename of key to be imported. Must be on remote machine, not local. Either key_file or key_id is required.
key_type 'public' What type of key to import. Only applicable to key_file
bin_path /usr/bin/gpg Location of remote gpg binary
state 'present' Desired state 'present', 'latest', or 'absent'

Strange behaviors occur when used with insane keys. But this is a gpg problem.
