Keyserver Bot

Setup

python3 -m venv venv
. venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .
keyserver-bot --email keyserver@example.org --password s3cr3t

Usage

If you send an email address to the bot, it will try to query WKD, and if that fails keys.openpgp.org, for a public OpenPGP key belonging to the email address.

Then it will send you a VCard file which contains the public key, so you can initiate an encrypted chat to it.

With the "/generate-invite" command, you can also generate an invite link for the bot so you can publish it.
