-Now generate the key with the following command:
-<code bash>
-gpg --no-tty --batch --gen-key ~/hyperreal-pgp-key.batch
-</code>
-Export the public key.
-<code bash>
-gpg --armor --export "Jeffrey Serio" > ~/hyperreal-pgp-key.pub
-</code>
-Export the private key to back it up somewhere safe.
-<code bash>
-gpg --armor --export-secret-keys "Jeffrey Serio" > ~/hyperreal-pgp-key.sec
-</code>
-After backup up the private key, shred it from the working directory.
-<code bash>
-shred -xu ~/hyperreal-pgp-key.sec
-</code>
-===== Setup RPM signing =====
-Replace ''E1933532750E9EEF'' with your key's ID.
-<code bash>
-echo "%_signature gpg
-%_gpg_name E1933532750E9EEF" > ~/.rpmmacros
-</code>
-Create a directory to serve the repository.
-<code bash>
-mkdir -p ~/rpm-repo/packages
-</code>
-Move RPM packages into the repo directory. Then sign them with the following command:
-<code bash>
-rpm --addsign ~/rpm-repo/packages/*.rpm
-</code>
-===== Create repo index =====
-Once all the packages are signed, create the repository with the following command:
-<code bash>
-createrepo ~/rpm-repo/packages/
-</code>
-The above command will create a directory in the repo named ''repodata'' containing a file named ''repomd.xml''.
-> Note that the ''createrepo'' command must be run against each directory in the repo that contains .rpm files.
-Now sign the repo metadata with the following command:
-<code bash>
-gpg --detach-sign --armor ~/rpm-repo/packages/repodata/repomd.xml
-</code>
-===== Create a .repo file =====
-''~/rpm-repo/hyperreal-kernel-bazzite.repo''
-<code ini>
-[hyperreal-kernel-bazzite]
-name=hyperreal kernel bazzite $releasever
-baseurl=https://rpm.hyperreal.coffee/kernel-bazzite/fedora-$releasever/$basearch
-enabled=1
-gpgcheck=1
-gpgkey=https://rpm.hyperreal.coffee/hyperreal-pgp-key.pub
-</code>
-The RPM repository should now be ready to be served on a web server with ''~/rpm-repo'' as the web root.
-===== Example Caddy configuration =====
-<code bash>
-rpm.hyperreal.coffee {
-    root * /home/jas/rpm-repos/
-    file_server browse
-}
