Password store setup

Transfer GPG key(s)

# Export key on existing machine
gpg --export-secret-keys > key.gpg
# Import key on new machine
gpg --import key.gpg
# Edit (for each key) to set trust
gpg --edit-key ...

Clone password-store repository

git clone https://git.xenia.me.uk/xenia/pass $PASSWORD_STORE_DIR

Email setup

Proton

Bridge

Docker source: Docker / GitHub - shenxn/protonmail-bridge-docker: ProtonMail IMAP/SMTP Bridge Docker …

To initialise:

podman kill protonmail-bridge && podman run --rm -it -v protonmail:/root shenxn/protonmail-bridge init
# Restart so that service picks up available ports
podman kill protonmail-bridge

and follow normal login system for cli. systemd unit handles running container on boot after this.

uidvalidity issue

Remove uid lines from .mbsyncrc (in each mail directory) and delete .uidvalidity, re-run mbsync to fix

Password

Get password from protonmail-bridge, save to password-store:

  pass insert mbsync/$(hostname)/proton
  # Insert pass at prompt

iCloud

Password

If not already done, save password to password-store:

  pass insert mbsync/$(hostname)/icloud
  # Insert pass at prompt

This will be synced across devices so only needs doing once

Outlook

Password

If not already done, save password to password-store:

  pass insert mbsync/$(hostname)/outlook
  # Insert pass at prompt

This will be synced across devices so only needs doing once

Configuration

On first run (or if token expires), stop systemd service and run manually to complete manual auth. Token will stay valid for a little while (no idea how long specifically).

# Restart service to ensure ~/.davmail.properties exists
systemctl --user restart davmail.service
# Run to use manual authentication
systemctl --user stop davmail.service && davmail -notray ~/.davmail.properties
# Restart again so that service picks up available ports
systemctl --user restart davmail.service
