Hello Lloyd,
Thank you for reaching out with your question. To securely store credentials for aktualizr and Docker on encrypted storage, you can follow a similar approach to what you did with your Docker data. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
-
Identify Credential Storage Locations:
- For Docker, credentials are typically stored in
~/.docker/config.json. - For aktualizr, credentials and configuration files are usually located in
/etc/sota/conf.d/or similar directories.
- For Docker, credentials are typically stored in
-
Encrypt the Storage:
- You can use a tool like
cryptsetupto create an encrypted partition or file-based storage. This can be achieved by setting up a LUKS-encrypted partition or using a loopback file with encryption.
- You can use a tool like
-
Move Credentials to Encrypted Storage:
- Once the encrypted storage is set up, move the credential files to this location.
- Update any configuration files or environment variables to point to the new location of these credentials.
-
Automate Mounting and Access:
- Ensure that the encrypted storage is mounted at boot time or when needed, using scripts or systemd services.
- Consider using a secure method to unlock the encrypted storage, such as a hardware security module (HSM) or a secure key management service.
-
Test the Setup:
- Verify that both Docker and aktualizr can access their credentials from the new location and that the encryption is functioning as expected.
By following these steps, you can enhance the security of your credentials on Torizon. Always ensure that your encryption keys are stored securely and that access to the encrypted storage is tightly controlled.
I hope this helps you achieve your goal. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
Best regards,
