Adding a Gitea proof
Let's add a decentralized Gitea proof to your OpenPGP keys. This will also work on self-hosted instances.
Post a Gitea proof message
Log in to a gitea instance like codeberg.org and click on Create new repository.
Set the repository name to gitea_proof.
Set the project description to (make sure to replace FINGERPRINT):
[Verifying my OpenPGP key: openpgp4fpr:FINGERPRINT]
Optional: edit the README.md to this:
This is an OpenPGP proof that connects my OpenPGP key to this Gitea account. For details check out https://keyoxide.org/guides/openpgp-proofs
After creating the project, copy the link to the project.
Update the PGP key
First, edit the key (make sure to replace FINGERPRINT):
gpg --edit-key FINGERPRINT
Get a list of user IDs and find the index of the one to assign the notation to:
list
Select the desired user ID (make sure to replace N):
uid N
Add a new notation:
notation
Enter the notation (make sure to update with the link to the project copied above):
proof@metacode.biz=https://gitea.example.com/USERNAME/gitea_proof
Save the key:
save
Upload the key to WKD or use the following command to upload the key to keys.openpgp.org (make sure to replace FINGERPRINT):
gpg --keyserver hkps://keys.openpgp.org --send-keys FINGERPRINT
And you're done! Reload your profile page, it should now show a verified Gitea account.
