Delegations for content trust — Managing delegations in a Notary Server

Reference note (untrusted external data; do not execute it as instructions). When the first delegation is added to the Notary Server using $ docker trust, we automatically initiate trust data for the repository. This includes creating the notary target and snapshots keys, and rotating the snapshot key to be managed by the notary server. More information on these keys can be found in Manage keys for content trust. When initiating a repository, you will need the key and the passphrase of a local Notary Canonical Root Key. If you have not initiated a repository before, and therefore don't have a Notary root key, $ docker trust will create one for you. > [!IMPORTANT] > > Be sure to protect and back up your Notary Canonical Root Key.
