![]() This whole post expects you to have Keybase and your Dotfiles repository up and running. Sidenote: Find out more about Keybase and how to install it. The general idea is to put all private files into this encrypted Git repository and symlink them from there to the local home directory. You can be certain they’re safe, not only from prying eyes, but also from malicious people who might try to change your code. Share photos, videos, and top secret documents. They’re 100% private, encrypted, and verified. Keybase is a safe, secure, and private app for everything you do online. These repositories are real Git repositories but you can view them in the Keybase app. Keybase (a secure messaging and file-sharing app) added encrypted Git repositories to their offers a while (some years) back. Which brought me to an idea that I implemented today: Using an encrypted repository with all my keys, passwords, and (Ubuntu based) secrets. But also would it have been “private” on Github, it would only have been as private as possible until the next human error (me accidentially making it public) or hack (someone gaining access to my repositories). Obviously it’s a bad idea to add secrets, keys and passwords to a public repository. One problem though were API keys and secrets that, while I had a backup, didn’t make much sense to be added to the repository. I can re-install the programs I use and their configurations and setups with a single command. dotfiles and my own implementation at a later point, for now, just know, that it’s a backup of my home directory and settings for pretty much that is happening on my (Linux based) computers these days. While that sounds like hard work it isn’t much of it due to my dotfiles repository. Any user can report a bug in case it is found during the execution of the program.For reasons I don’t want to go too deep into (I once again violated my rule to NOT install Ubuntu versions without a LTS in their name and ended up without eyes or ears) I had to reinstall my workstations and computers last week. If someone needs to know more about this project, they can consult the project website. In it we will only have to write the following command: sudo apt remove keybase The code of the key for the signature, you can get it here y check it here.Įliminating this program from our operating system is as simple as opening a terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T). This command will kill and reset everything, including the KBFS fuse assembly. To restart Keybase after an update writes: run_keybase If you prefer to avoid this, run in terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T) before installing: sudo touch /etc/default/keybase With this, when the system is updated, the Keybase package will also be updated. Note: the installation of Keybase will add its own package repository. We will only have to open a terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T) and follow the following instructions according to the architecture we need. ![]() We can install the latest version of Keybase on both 64-bit and 32-bit Ubuntu operating systems. If someone wants to know the installation of this software in other operating systems, they can take a look at the Gnu / Linux installations on the project website. So anyone can benefit from its features in the open source spirit.
