what is gpg-agent-passthrough.sh ?

[frbayart]

I see '/opt/chrome-gpg-agent/gpg-agent-passthrough.sh' in plugins, can you share this script ?

Sorry, just seeing this now! I'll get a copy pushed later tonight or so.

While you're at it, it might be a good idea to see if you can attempt to set this up on a freshly installed machine, using only the contents within this repo, and create a bare minimum set of instructions.

I'll work on getting a better installer,

for now gpg-agent-passthrough.sh was a red herring and I think just something I was using to test (in lieu of the go binary provided in the release).

1. move the host binary that either you compile or you copy from the release into /opt/chrome-gpg-agent/gpg-agent-passthrough.sh
2. install https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chrome-gpg-agent/bleakneiblnngmahabhdffihlgmbpnbp
3. cp host/manifest.json ~/.config/google-chrome/NativeMessagingHosts/io.linux_fu.chrome_gpg_agent.json
4. replace the chrome-extension URL in that last file with chrome-extension://bleakneiblnngmahabhdffihlgmbpnbp/ instead

You can test the efficacy of the plugin working by right clicking the extension's popup and going to the console, and then test signing something and it'll appear in the console logs.

This was only meant as a test of how native messaging works to see if I could later use it for lastpass; my problem being I have a smartcard and can't actually upload my key there. This in itself isn't really a polished product :).

Mind if I ask what you two are using it for? I'd be happy to make it an actual tool instead of a sandbox/playground.

Absolutely! I had submitted a feature request to Flowcrypt, asking if they'd be able to add the ability to communicate with gpg directly, that way I could use a smart card with my key on it instead of uploading a private key into the extension's local browser cache. Then I figured that I might help the developers out and look for a reference extension that they might look at to get a feel for how to do it. If those instructions work, then I'll look into submitting a PR that makes it a bit easier. :Smile: ~ Sent from my Alphabet phone
