Gpg Full Generate Key Invalid Option
Full-generate-key seems to be a new synonym, added in GnuPG 2.2. The manpage for Ubuntu 18.04 mentions it, but not older manpages, which only list -full-gen-key. Note that -full-gen-key itself is a rename of the -gen-key option in GnuPG 2.1.0 (2014), so you have to use the older option name with Ubuntu 14.04. Assume that the specified key (which must be given as a full 8 byte key ID) is as trustworthy as one of your own secret keys. This option is useful if you don’t want to keep your secret keys (or one of them) online but still want to be able to check the validity of a given recipient’s or signator’s key. It is likely that you are running out of entropy. Key generation requires a lot of very high-quality random numbers; without the activity of the user to provide high-quality randomness to the computer, the entropy pool is being exhausted by generation, and the generation process just hangs, waiting for the pool to refill. Your 'GPG key ID' consists of 8 hex digits identifying the public key. In the example above, the GPG key ID is 1B2AFA1C. In most cases, if you are asked for the key ID, prepend 0x to the key ID, as in 0x6789ABCD. This is how to create a gpg key without any user interaction or password. This can be used in cases where the primary goal is to secure the data in transit but the gpg key can/must be stored locally without a password. An example of this is the hiera-gpg plugin which doesn't support passwords. If you are on version 2.1.17 or greater, paste the text below to generate a GPG key pair. $ gpg -full-generate-key; If you are not on version 2.1.17 or greater, the gpg -full-generate-key command doesn't work. Paste the text below and skip to step 6. $ gpg -default-new-key-algo rsa4096 -gen-key.

Here's a page that describes the options for the gen-key script: http://www.gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg-devel/Unattended-GPG-key-generation.html |

Originally I had a couple extra steps to use rng-tools to seed entropy from /dev/urandom. Apparently this is a bad idea because it will just feed bytes regardless of whether there's enough entropy. Here's where I got the original idea, and the subsequent discussion of why it's bad. For new machines, we should generate the keys on our laptops where there's much more entropy to draw from, and then transfer them to the new server, just like we're currently doing with the encrypted data bag secret. |

This is awesome, thank you. |
