Does anyone know if there is a way to make something equivalent to this but using GPG's symmetric crypto instead of public crypto? This way you don't need to carry a key file around with you, just the encrypted secrets.
- noondip 11y agoThis is a great point. The advantage I see to using pubkey is integration with, for example, a cryptocard (https://trmm.net/Yubikey https://trmm.net/Yubikey). Still, I wonder if the default should be to use gpg --symmetric instead.
- ufo 11y agoThe reason I asked that is because last time I messed around in this problem space I had some trouble making gpg-agent remember the password for symmetrically-encrypted stuff.
