Verifying installs¶

Binaries¶

All artifacts are checksummed, and the checksum file is signed with cosign.

1. Download the files you want, and the checksums.txt, checksums.txt.pem and checksums.txt.sig files from the releases page.

   ```sh
   curl -O 'https://github.com/caffeine-addictt/waku/releases/download/v0.8.1/checksums.txt'
   ```
   

2. Verify checksums signature:

   cosign verify-blob \
     --certificate-identity 'https://github.com/caffeine-addictt/waku/.github/workflows/release.yml@refs/tags/v0.8.1' \
     --certificate-oidc-issuer 'https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com' \
     --cert 'https://github.com/caffeine-addictt/waku/releases/download/v0.8.1/checksums.txt.pem' \
     --signature 'https://github.com/caffeine-addictt/waku/releases/download/v0.8.1/checksums.txt.sig' \
     ./checksums.txt
   

3. Verify the SHA256 checksums:

   sha256sum --ignore-missing -c checksums.txt
   

Docker images¶

Our docker images are signed with cosign.

Verify the signature:

cosign verify \
  --certificate-identity 'https://github.com/caffeine-addictt/waku/.github/workflows/release.yml@refs/tags/v0.8.1' \
  --certificate-oidc-issuer 'https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com' \
