How to check ISO image Parabola ?

sam - 14 days ago -

Hello . How and where can I download a pub key to check the ISO image? The wiki https://wiki.parabola.nu/Installation_Guide doesn't list the server??

hkps://pgp.mit.edu ?
keys.openpgp.org ?
keys.gnugp.net ?
hkps://keyserver.ubuntu.com ?

 $ gpg --keyserver  ?????  --recv-key FBCC5AD7421197B7ABA72853908710913E8C7778

I can download the key http://pgp.cyberbits.eu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x3954a7ab837d0ea9cfa9798925db7d9b5a8d4b40 and then import it, but I wanted to understand which server to use

 $ gpg --import armored-keys.asc

the --keyserver option is not needed usually - the --keyserver option is also marked as "deprecated" in the manual (meaning that it is not needed ever, for any reason) - in fact, keyservers are not needed either - they are only a convenience - as you discovered, if you can get the key somehow, you can import it manually

if you do specify the --keyserver option, it is normally not important which one you specify, as long as it is online - the system was designed that way - most keyservers are part of a distributed (de-centralized) network, all sharing the same data - pgp.cyberbits.eu is one of those, as are the others you listed, except for ubuntu

the --keyserver option was intended for custom or private keyservers - unfortunately, the default keyserver (on arch at least) is keyserver.ubuntu,com, which does not share keys with the main network; so now we need to try both the default (ubuntu) and one (any) of the pool servers - the effect being that the --keyserver option, although deprecated upstream, is still essential for arch and parabola users

Thank you very much for the detailed explanation, okay then I’ll download the public key manually and import it into the system.
