No keys are present in the keychain. Generate them with 'chia keys generate'

[chechuironman]

hey guys,

im running this on kubernetes, and mounting the key file as a secret...when I do "cat $keys" I can see my 24 words...but log still saying are not present...as the title says any idea?

You need to export the key file path to container. By using keys="/blabla/key_file" as docker parameters or env variables. But personally, I don't like this method since the 24 words key file is so important that I don't want to deploy it on drive the plant text...

You can import the key manually inside the container by command "chia keys add". And assign the docker parameter "keys"="" (empty) to skip generating new keys.

still getting the error...and when I do "echo $keys" the 24 words appear

[kimklai]

you need to post all info/workflow. or just dig into the entrypoint.sh; it's just a simple script that would add the "keys" file when start up, otherwise it would generate a new key even if you already have a key inside container.

[chechuironman]

what is the key file format...do you have an example?

[kimklai]

the key file contains 24 words.

Hi @chechuironman ! Just making sure you were able to resolve this issue?

first try with - keys="/run/secrets" then - keys="/run/secrets/se.txt"

finally work time was ended with no chance

Hey guys, same issue here

Container log gives me: "No keys are present in the keychain. Generate them with 'chia keys generate'"

Although I have passed my key file to the docker container as described in the readme they keys are not imported on startup.

When I "cat $keys" from inside the container, my 24 mnemonic words are displayed. So docker-entrypoint.sh should be able to import the keys but for some reason doesn't. Thanks for any hints!

[mkubicek]

So i ran the command chia keys add -f "${keys}" from docker-entrypoint.sh to add the keys manually and noticed that there is an sdtin: Enter the label you want to assign to this key (Press Enter to skip):

I suspect this might be the issue?

[cmmarslender]

Yeah this is due to the new key labeling. I'll get a PR in for this.

[cmmarslender]

Once https://github.com/Chia-Network/chia-docker/pull/176 is approved, it will auto merge and build, and it gets around the new label prompt
