Usage

For full documentation, check the Keybase SSH CA Bot documentation.

Startup of bot:

docker run -v $(pwd):/home/keybase/certificates jitesoft/keybase-sshca:1.0.0

To fine-tune the container to work with your channels, a few environment variables are available:

TEAMS="list.of.teams,separated.by.a.comma"
CHAT_CHANNEL="list.of.teams#and-channel,separated.by.a.comma#channel"
KEYBASE_USERNAME="your-bot-username"             # I recommend that you create a new bot for this.
KEYBASE_PAPERKEY="Paperkey-for-bot"              # Possible to generate quickly via the keybase cli. 
KEYBASE_USERNAME_PATH="path-to-username-in-file" # File to use instead of above 'username' env variable. 
KEYBASE_PAPERKEY_PATH="path-to-paperkey-in-file" # As above, but for the paperkey.
CA_KEY_LOCATION="/home/keybase/ca-cert"          # Location where the key file should be or will be if generated by this image.
                                                 # Default is /home/keybase/ca-cert
KEY_EXPIRATION="+12h"                            # Expiration time (prefixed with + and sufixed with unit, such as d, h, m).
KEYBASE_SSHCA_LOG_DIR="/home/keybase/.cache/keybase" # Path to directory where the logs of the keybase-ssh-ca bot should be placed.
                                                # defaults to /home/keybase/.cache/keybase
                                                # Note: logs are also printed to stdout.
STRICT_LOGGING="false"                          # Sets the logging to strict or not strict. (true or false)
ANNOUNCEMENT=""                                 # A string/text that the bot will use to announce itself in a channel.
                                                # The following placeholders are available: {USERNAME}, {CURRENT_TEAM}, {TEAMS}.

Most notable are the KEYBASE_* prefixed user and paperkey variables, which either filepath or env type are required to exist to allow the bot to connect.
The Docker image will generate a set of ecdsa keys to use as ca keys in case you don't supply them yourself, and it might be worth to add a persistent volume for them so that they do not disappear after restart of the container.
