Can't import release team keys: No keyserver availabile

[mmorava]

Hi everyone, I've found a couple of old issue similar to this one, tried all of the previous answers but non of them helped. Whatever I try I am unable to import nodejs team keys. It looks like keyservers which are used to fetch keys are constantly not reachable.

I tried updating asdf, updating nodejs plugin, manually using gpg to import from specific servers. Nothing of that worked so I tried the same but by using different internet connection I even tried it all while connected to VPN but nothing helped.

System I'm using is MacOS BigSur, ZSH

Here is the screenshot of what I did

As the last resort i went to some of the keyserver websites and tried to use their UI to fetch the keys but it also failed

Does anyone know why this is happening and how to ensure that at least 1 keyserver is always available?

Possible solution:

Finally I had a look at what the install script does and found out that NODEJS_CHECK_SIGNATURES is being use for the script to decide should it verify authenticity or not.

That means it should be possible to install nodejs without importing keyring if we run

NODEJS_CHECK_SIGNATURES=no asdf install nodejs VERSION

Can you check if is related to #192?

@augustobmoura this answer from that thread helped. I need to create that file + kill dirmngr process in order to make it work.

After doing those steps keys have been imported

I will close this issue then, and keep all discussion in #192
