Application Signing

This section assumes you are signing for development purposes. Signing for production with a vendor private key is not covered.

Pre-Requisites

The following are the pre-requisites to be able to sign, and subsequently deploy a custom application to an HCC2

1. A valid developer's license must be installed on the HCC2.

2. The developer private key is available and has been installed in:

   ~/hcc2devtools/menderkeys/

3. The actions of the Container Preparation step have been completed successfully

   • The application .yml file was copied to the hcc2devtools folder

Your docker-compose-<<app-name>> file from the Container Preparation step have been completed successfully and the container in your Docker repository is valid

The Packaging and Signing Process

Assuming the pre-requisites have been met, then from your development machine

1. Navigate to your hcc2devtools folder

2. Execute the packaging script, passing your application yml file, for example:

./package_app.sh docker-compose-<<app-name>>.yml

This script will create a signed output file which can then be renamed:

    3. Rename the signed output file.

mv collection-signed-private.mender <<name of your choice>>.mender
