Overview

This node operation retrieves the ASCII-armored GPG key for a specific Debian distribution codename within a GitLab group. It is useful for automating the process of fetching Debian package signing keys associated with a GitLab group, which can be used for verifying package authenticity in Debian-based systems. For example, a DevOps engineer might use this node to programmatically obtain the GPG key for the 'sid' codename of a Debian distribution managed under a GitLab group to automate package verification workflows.

Use Case Examples

  1. Fetch the GPG key for the 'sid' Debian distribution codename in a GitLab group with ID '12345' to verify package signatures during CI/CD pipeline execution.
  2. Retrieve the Debian distribution key for a specific group to integrate with a package repository management system.

Properties

Name Meaning
Skip Authentication Whether to skip authentication for the API request (boolean). Useful for public or unauthenticated access.
Authentication The authentication method used for the API request, typically an API key credential for GitLab.
baseUrl The base URL of the GitLab instance to which the API request is sent. Defaults to https://gitlab.com.
Method The HTTP method used for the API request. Defaults to GET.
Path Parameters Parameters used in the API request path to specify the group ID and Debian distribution codename.

Output

JSON

  • key
    • asc - The ASCII-armored GPG key for the specified Debian distribution codename in the GitLab group.

Dependencies

  • GitLab API key credential for authentication

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the group ID and Debian codename are correctly specified; incorrect values will result in API errors.
  • If authentication is required and skipped, the request may fail with authorization errors.
  • Check network connectivity and baseUrl correctness if the API request fails to reach the GitLab server.
