Syncthing¶
Syncthing is used to syncronize my keys across my containers so I don't need to manually copy them over.
This is preferred over Ansible so that I can more easily update them by updating the source.
Installation¶

mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings && \
curl -L -o /etc/apt/keyrings/syncthing-archive-keyring.gpg https://syncthing.net/release-key.gpg && \
