About witness1.smartit.nu/witness1

This is a test witness operated by Elias Rudberg.

NOTE: this witness is only a TEST witness, it should only be used for
testing and development purposes.

The verification key (vkey) for this witness is as follows:

witness1.smartit.nu/witness1+a48c820f+BPSFWg9G6KPiO7QPryYO5Xq4oYJJ+kAvLKLSimDhoxMO

Witness URL: https://witness1.smartit.nu/witness1

My plan is to keep this witness running for at least several months,
probably longer, but please note again that it is only a TEST witness
and should not be used if you need something for production use. The
witness uses a soft key (the private key is simply stored in a
file). I plan to keep using the same key, but everything else
including the saved state of witnessed logs will likely be reset
sometimes, for example I may reinstall everything from scratch for
testing purposes, only keeping the key.

This witness is running on a VPS with Debian GNU/Linux, using
litewitness software (see https://github.com/FiloSottile/torchwood)
configured using the Sigsum ansible role (see
https://git.glasklar.is/sigsum/admin/ansible/-/tree/main/roles/litewitness).

If you have a log and would like this witness to start witnessing your
log, please let me know, I would be happy to add more logs.

The witness is configured with a cronjob to automatically fetch and
configure new logs (using the witnessctl pull-logs command) every 10
minutes from the "Testing" log list at
https://testing.witness-network.org/log-list.1 -- see
https://witness-network.org/log-lists/ So, if your log is added to the
"Testing" log list there, then this witness should automatically get
the configuration needed so that it can witness your log, you then
only need to add this witness in your log config to make this witness
start witnessing your log.  If your log is not on that list, then you
are welcome to contact me about adding your log. If your log is on
that list and you have configured your end but you are still not
getting cosignatures from this witness, then something is wrong, in
that case please let me know so we can fix what is broken.

Contact info: if you want me to add your log, or if you have any other
questions or comments related to this test witness, send an email to
this address: testwitness1 (at) eliasrudberg.se
