gnugpg Cookbook

Cookbook to deploy gnugpg - a complete and free implementation of the OpenPGP standard.

Requirements

Windows Server

There are two things to override among gnugpg attributes

node['gnugpg']['keys']['file'] - this defaults to c:\tmp directory

node['gnugpg']['temp']['directory'] - this is an array of GPG keys that you want to install

There is a need to create a wrapper recipe to copy your GPG keys into the target host. The gnugpg cookbook expects the key or keys to be inside node['gnugpg']['temp']['directory'] directory.

This cookbook needs to be included after the wrapper has been called.
