[Duplicity-talk] Adding PGP key to a keychain?

[Scott Classen]

Hello,

I recently migrated our duply/duplicity installation to a new machine running Rocky Linux 8.8

Now, when I run any duply tasks I get prompted for the GPG key password…. Which works, but it only "remembers" the password for a short amount of time. I do not remember this from previous installations.

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

These are the installed versions:

Start duply v2.4.3, time is 2023-07-07 15:32:02.

Using profile '/etc/duply/home_d'.

Using installed duplicity version 1.2.3, python 3.10.12 (/root/.conda/envs/duply/bin/python) 'PYTHONPATH=:/root/.conda/envs/duply/lib/python310.zip:/root/.conda/envs/duply/lib/python3.10:/root/.conda/envs/duply/lib/python3.10/lib-dynload:/root/.conda/envs/duply/lib/python3.10/site-packages', gpg 2.2.20 (Home: /root/.gnupg), awk 'GNU Awk 4.2.1, API: 2.0 (GNU MPFR 3.1.6-p2, GNU MP 6.1.2)', grep 'grep (GNU grep) 3.1', bash '4.4.20(1)-release (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu)’.

How can I prevent this? Is there a way to add the password to a key store or keychain of some sort?

Thanks,

Scott
