Just n' Reminder

E-Mails von mir tragen ein #OpenPGP Zertifikat mit sich.
(Signiert, wenn ich den Ksy des anderen nicht habe)

Den PGP-Key könnt ihr auf https://njbraun.de oder eurem #Keyserver eures Vertrauens checken.

Ich frage euch weder nach Kreditkartendaten, Passwörter o.ä.

We are pleased to announce the release of Hockeypuck 2.3.2.

Hockeypuck 2.3.2 is primarily a bugfix release to revert a cryptographic policy default in go 1.24 that rendered some historical keys unverifiable. It also fixes some papercuts in the build process and improves the efficiency of database cleanup.

* Permit small RSA keys (reverts go 1.24 policy to that of 1.23)
* Clean more than one database entry per hashquery
* Use apt-get instead of apt in build scripts
* Match go patch versions between Dockrfile and go.mod

There are no breaking changes between the 2.2 and 2.3 branches, and SKS sync is supported between 2.2 and 2.3 peers.

Release notes can be found at https://github.com/hockeypuck/hockeypuck/releases/tag/2.3.2

Hockeypuck 2.3 development is kindly supported by @NGIZero Core

We are pleased to announce the release of Hockeypuck 2.3.1.

Hockeypuck 2.3.1 is primarily a bugfix and maintenance release:

* Fix broken delete-keys helper script
* Bumped dependencies and refactored redundant code paths
* Improved PKS support
* Config parameter to increase the number of results returned from a search

There are no breaking changes between the 2.2 and 2.3 branches, and SKS sync is supported between 2.2 and 2.3 peers.

New Blog: #Keyserver Updates and Roadmap, December 2025

...

About half of the public #Hockeypuck keyservers have been upgraded to the 2.3 branch (as of 2025-12-08), including the pgpkeys.eu servers. A small number remain on 2.1 for compatibility reasons, but the remaining issues preventing upgrade of these 2.1 servers will be addressed in an upcoming 2.3.x release.

...

While HKPv2 and RFC9580 support are the current priorities, further improvements are planned for delivery in 2026 and 2027. These include:

* Allowing #OpenPGP key owners to explicitly restrict the distribution of third-party signatures over their User IDs, to prevent signature flooding.
* Out of band email proofs of User ID validity, to mitigate spam and impersonation.
* A fully-featured management API to better handle deletion and blocklisting of incorrect or spammy keys.
* Native rate limiting and tor exit node abuse detection.
* Detection (and potential removal) of keys with known vulnerabilities or weaknesses.
* Improvements to the dump and restore process to allow a running server to be backed up without a restart.

We are pleased to announce the release of Hockeypuck 2.3.

Hockeypuck 2.3 is primarily a technical-debt release, but also adds features to ease the upgrade process in a production environment:

* Updates to the PostgreSQL table schemas
* Offline, in-place reload of all key material
* Online reindexing of table schemas
* PKS support

There are no breaking changes between the 2.2 and 2.3 branches, and SKS sync is supported between 2.2 and 2.3 peers.

• a new config option in the #PGP plugins enable automatic online discovery of PGP keys (according to your existing gpg.conf auto-key-locate
• whenever you recieve a mail signed by a public key missing (or expired) in your #GPG keyring, you'll have a button to trigger an online search for the key (either through #WKD or the older #keyserver based approach).

News from the coalface!

The pgpkeys.eu test swarm is now running an alpha version of #hockeypuck 2.3, and is gradually reindexing itself to populate the new SQL table structure required for RFC9580 and PQC support.

The PostgreSQL storage layer has been extensively refactored and improved. It now supports background reindexing during normal operation, and in-place reloading of the database without dumping to disk. Previously, reindexing and reloading were only possible by dumping, deleting the database, and reloading the dump from scratch, which was an error-prone manual process - in v2.3 reloading will be a single command, and reindexing happens automagically. 🤩

Old-school PKS sync has also been implemented natively, to enable (less efficient, more robust) sync between different versions of Hockeypuck, or even with non-SKS keyservers such as Hagrid 😈.

These changes will make it much easier for #keyserver operators to upgrade to newer versions of hockeypuck, and increase the reliability of the synchronising keyserver network.

Watch this space for more news, particularly about the upcoming support for PQC algorithms in #openpgp!
