bencouture/keybase repository overview

⁠docker-keybase

This is a fork of langrisha/keybase, since that image hasn't been rebuilt with the new client in a year or more.

Docker container with signed Keybase.io client install.

⁠Usage

Run a named container and attach to it.

docker run --name keybase -it bencouture/keybase

Login into your account and provision the device. You can now use keybase from within the container. Detach from the container to get back to your host.

ctrl+pq

Great, now you can execute commands from the host.

echo "secret" | docker exec -i keybase keybase encrypt max

And you can always attach to the container.

docker attach keybase

⁠Extend

You can extend the image and copy your user and device information.

# Dockerfile
FROM bencouture/keybase

USER root
COPY ./config/* .config/keybase/
RUN chown -R keybase:keybase .config/keybase
USER keybase

⁠Tips

You can copy your user and device information from a container to your host, or the other way around.

docker cp keybase:/home/keybase/.config/keybase config

⁠Notes

The container process is configured to run as the user keybase belonging to the keybase group (UID and GID 1000). By default, runs the command bash.

Do not forget to run the container process interactively and to login with your user when the container starts.
