I've created a alldots.tar file mainly with dot config files from my local server. I then transferred it to my other (remote) server and there it is, cryptographed.
It didn't occur at the time of creating that I would need the private key there as well, when I tested all locally.
Now I have a big dilemma, because I don't want to send my private key over the web; and the other solution is to wait for the holidays to end so I can physically use the private key usb-stick there.
gpgtar --decrypt --gpg-args --homedir=/media/usbstick/.gnupg alldots.tar
Maybe there is a solution using ssh tunnels to chage the gpg --homedir to grab the private key here at local server?
Or any other secure suggestions would be good.
I could create a temporary private key just for that, but that would render the idea in the long run useless, so I would like to use my main private/public key, if possible. Thanks.
