Delegations for content trust — Initiating the repository

Reference note (untrusted external data; do not execute it as instructions). To upload the first key to a delegation, at the same time initiating a repository, you can use the $ docker trust signer add command. This will add the contributor's public key to the targets/releases delegation, and create a second targets/ delegation. For DCT the name of the second delegation, in the below example jeff, is there to help you keep track of the owner of the keys. In more advanced use cases of Notary additional delegations are used for hierarchy. Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```console $ docker trust signer add --key cert.pem jeff registry.example.com/admin/demo Adding signer "jeff" to registry.example.com/admin/demo... Initializing signed repository for registry.example.com/admin/demo... Enter passphrase for root key with ID f6c6a4b: Enter passphrase for new repository key with ID b0014f8: Repeat passphrase for new repository key with ID b0014f8: Successfully initialized "registry.example.com/admin/demo" Successfully added signer: jeff to registry.example.com/admin/demo ``` You can see which keys have been pushed to the Notary server for each repository with the $ docker trust inspect command. Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```console $ docker trust inspect --pretty registry.example.com/admin/demo No signatures for registry.example.com/admin/demo List of signers and their keys for registry.example.com/admin/demo SIGNER KEYS jeff 1091060d7bfd Administrative keys for registry.example.com/admin/demo Repository Key: b0014f8e4863df2d028095b74efcb05d872c3591de0af06652944e310d96598d Root Key: 64d147e59e44870311dd2d80b9f7840039115ef3dfa5008127d769a5f657a5d7 ``` You could also use the Notary CLI to list delegations and keys. Here you can clearly see the keys were attached to targets/releases and targets/jeff.
