Signer Management

To extract archives created by other parties, their public keys need to be added to the list of allowed signers. The signer command supports this.

List allowed signers

$ icepack signer list
ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC... (Your Key)
ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC... (Bob)

Add an allowed signer

$ icepack signer add "ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC..." --alias Alice
$ icepack signer list
ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC... (Your Key)
ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC... (Bob)
ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC... (Alice)
Option Description
--alias, -a Key alias.

Remove an allowed signer

$ icepack signer remove Bob
$ icepack signer list
ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC... (Your Key)
ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC... (Alice)

When removing a key, you can specify the key or its alias.
