- isostatic 8y agoPresumably a given repository is secure? At least as much as a https certificate makes it secure (which means a compromise of a docker certificate or website means a compromise of everything on it) This isn't about downloading random crap from the internet, it's about having the communication between who you trust (redhat, microsoft, dave smith) being secure. GPG signing of the code you download means that you are running the code from the person with that GPG key. Doesn't matter if the server the reporistory is on is compromised via a DNS/https hack, or via some other means. The worst that will happen is you download the compromised software, it doesn't match the person/organization you trust, and you delete it.
