GnuPG 2.2.x Build Instructions

Below are my build instructions for GnuPG 2.2.10, released on August 30th, 2018. These instructions are built for a headless Ubuntu 18.04 LTS server (and have also been tested on Ubuntu 14.04/16.04).

If you prefer, you may use the below install script to install GnuPG 2.2.x by running the following commands:

curl -OL "https://gist.githubusercontent.com/vt0r/a2f8c0bcb1400131ff51/raw/e0d2011d7b89bfe5b83c3f29f21949fb21354dd9/install-gnupg22.sh" && sudo -H bash ./install-gnupg22.sh

How to setup your own CA with OpenSSL

For educational reasons I've decided to create my own CA. Here is what I learned.

First things first

Lets get some context first.

	#!/usr/bin/env python

	import sys
	import os
	import subprocess
	import logging
	import re
	import getpass

	logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG, format="%(levelname)s: %(message)s\n")

	# Install ARCH Linux with encrypted file-system and UEFI
	# The official installation guide (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installation_Guide) contains a more verbose description.

	# Download the archiso image from https://www.archlinux.org/
	# Copy to a usb-drive
	dd if=archlinux.img of=/dev/sdX bs=16M && sync # on linux

	# Boot from the usb. If the usb fails to boot, make sure that secure boot is disabled in the BIOS configuration.

	# Set swedish keymap

	wget http://stedolan.github.io/jq/download/linux64/jq
	aws ec2 describe-instances --filters "Name=tag:Name,Values=$NAME" \
	"Name=instance-state-name,Values=running" \
	\| jq -r \
	".Reservations[] \| .Instances[] \| .InstanceId" \

	aws ec2 describe-volumes --filters \
	"Name=status,Values=available" \
	\| jq -r ".Volumes[] \| .VolumeId" \

	# Add the following 'help' target to your Makefile
	# And add help text after each target name starting with '\#\#'

	help: ## Show this help.
	@fgrep -h "##" $(MAKEFILE_LIST) \| fgrep -v fgrep \| sed -e 's/\\$$//' \| sed -e 's/##//'

	# Everything below is an example

	target00: ## This message will show up when typing 'make help'
	@echo does nothing

	package main

	import (
	"bytes"
	"exec"
	"log"
	"os"
	)

	// Pipeline strings together the given exec.Cmd commands in a similar fashion
