Greetings list, I am trying to create (and test) a self extracting encrypted archive. I am having an issue when I test trying to extract the archive. Here's my stub: #!/bin/bash ARCHIVE=`awk '/^__ARCHIVE__/ { print NR + 1; exit 0; }' $0` tail -n+$ARCHIVE $0 | gpg --output - - | tar xz exit 0 __ARCHIVE__ I've already created the ascii armored archive: tar -cvzf - ~/tmp/archive | gpg --symmetric --armor --output ~/tmp/archive.tar.gz.asc I create the full self extracting file like so: cat ~/tmp/stub ~/tmp/archive.tar.gz.asc > ~/tmp/archive.sh Now when I run archive.sh to test this I receive the following errors: gpg: CAST5 encrypted data No protocol specified xprop: unable to open display ':0' No protocol specified gpg-agent[5310]: can't connect to the PIN entry module: End of file gpg-agent[5310]: command get_passphrase failed: No pinentry gpg: problem with the agent: No pinentry gpg: encrypted with 1 passphrase gpg: decryption failed: No secret key gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file tar: Child returned status 1 tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now A gentle nudge with the clue bat to help me figure out how to get the self extracting file to use gpg cli passphrase entry would be most appreciated.
