Peerio Update Maker

A library for creating update manifests and a command-line tool to generate key pairs for peerio-updater.

Installation

npm install -g @peerio/update-maker

Generating key pair

peerio-update-maker -g filename

You'll be asked to enter password and confirm it: you will need to use this password to decrypt secret key to sign updates.

The public key will be printed, the secret key will be written to filename.

Extracting public key from secret key

peerio-update-maker -p filename

Compatibility with signify

Signify utility requires untrusted comment: line before key line. Both secret key and public key printed with -p follow this format. peerio-updater, on the other hand, requires just the actual key line to be included in the configuration.
