Docker container does not include keyring about cells HOT 6 CLOSED

Good sport, thanks @valmar
we'll have a look at this

from cells.

@cdujeu Thank you. Temporarily, I will create for myself a pydio cells docker image based on Ubuntu or Debian (if there is interest, I can share it, of course). I read in the documentation that on Linux the Gnome keyring is used. But of course, one will not need to install the full Gnome desktop, right? Do you know what are the minimal dependencies in Linux, please?

Hi,
if you wish to have the keyring on a headless environment such as ubuntu,
required packages : dbus-user-session, gnome-keyring

then launch the keyring with the following command
gnome-keyring-daemon —unlock (can be launched in the foreground with —foreground)
<input user password, there will be no indication for it but right after you used the command type it>
<ctrl+d>

from cells.

fixed in last version : we made keyring optional

from cells.

@cdujeu Thanks. One question: without the keyring, how is the key stored? Is it stored in plain text?

from cells.

nope, there's a dedicated "vault" storage where data are encrypted with a master key generated at startup.
