ddfb a DDF bundle command line tool

This standalone tool helps to create and sign DDF bundles with the following features:

Create DDF bundles from base JSON DDF files.
Create keys for signing DDF bundles.
Sign DDF bundles.

DDF bundles are self contained immutable files with file extension .ddf. They provide device integration in deCONZ. They contain the full DDF JSON files as well as scripts and other files. To learn more about DDF bundles refer to the specification at https://github.com/deconz-community/ddf-tools/blob/main/packages/bundler/README.md

Usage

1. Creating a DDF bundle

./ddfb create <path-to-ddf-file.json>

This command bundles up all files referenced in the base DDF JSON file and creates a standalone file ending in .ddf file extension. It is not signed yet.

2. Creating a singing key

./ddfb keygen <name-for-key>

The keygen command creates two files name-for-key and name-for-key.pub which contain the private and public keys for signing.

3. Sign a DDF bundle

./ddfb sign <bundle.ddf> <keyfile>

The sign command adds the signature over a bundle to the .ddf file (if it isn't already signed by that key).
