Hagrid

Hagrid is a verifying OpenPGP key server.

You can find general instructions and an API documentation at the running instance at https://keys.openpgp.org.

Please note that Hagrid is built and maintained only for the service at keys.openpgp.org. It is not maintained or officially supported as deployable software.

Compatibility note: Hagrid v2.0 uses an sqlite certificate store instead of the previous file based database. This means that it also no longer supports serving certificates directly via reverse proxy. You can us hagridctl to dump and import an old database.

Quick Start

Building Hagrid requires a working stable Rust toolchain. The easiest way to get the toolchain is to download rustup.

Additionally, some external dependencies are required. Get them (on Debian or Ubuntu) with

sudo apt install gnutls-bin libssl-dev gcc llvm-dev libclang-dev build-essential pkg-config gettext libsqlite3-dev

After Rust and the other dependencies are installed, copy the config file (or run just init), then simply compile and run:

cd hagrid
cp Rocket.toml.dist Rocket.toml
cargo run

This will spawn a web server listening on port 8080.

For deployment, a release build should be used (cargo build --release). This will be statically built, and can be copied anywhere. You will also need to adjust Rocket.toml accordingly. Hagrid uses sendmail for mailing, so you also need a working local mailer setup.

About Pages

The pages under /about are built using zola. Templates served by hagrid assume that the built pages are available under /about, but they are independent from the rest of the code.

Development Dependencies

List of dependencies which are required or could be helpful for contribution to the project.

Category Type Name Version Verified Version Notes
Shell Obligatory Zsh >= 5.9 5.9 Required for translated templates generation script.
VCS/SCM Obligatory Git >= 2.47.3 2.47.3 Obviously, if going to get this repository you'll have the git CLI as dependency. But it also used in just upgrade-rust recipe to automate Rust upgrades.
Shell Preferrable Bash >= 5.2.15 5.2.15 Required for scripts embedded into justfile. If you don't want to use just you probably don't need this shell.
Command Runner Preferrable just >= 1.42.4 1.40.0 All commands from justfile could be run without just, but it makes development more convenient.
SQlite Prompt Preferrable sqlite3 >= 3.40.1 3.40.1 Used by just db recipe to open interactive prompt to SQlite database of the project.
Command Line HTTP client Preferrable curl >= 8.14.1 8.14.1 Used by just _rust-stable-version recipe to determine current stable version of Rust. Indirectly, used by just upgrade-rust depends on curl through _rust-stable-version recipe.
Text stream editor Preferrable sed >= 4.9 4.9 Similar to curl, Used by just _rust-stable-version recipe to determine current stable version of Rust. Indirectly, used by just upgrade-rust depends on curl through _rust-stable-version recipe.
TOML Query Preferrable tomlq >= 0.2.2 0.2.2 Similar to curl, Used by just _rust-stable-version recipe to determine current stable version of Rust. Indirectly, used by just upgrade-rust depends on curl through _rust-stable-version recipe.
Static Site Generator Preferrable zola >= 0.20.0 0.20.0 Use zola build in aboutPages to build the about pages and serve from /about

Rust version upgrade

Take a look at just upgrade-rust recipe. It bumps used version of Rust to the current stable version (as declared by manifest).
