I had a similar issue since my server is hosted on the smallest server on DigitalOcean (20GB SSD). For importing a keydump, I just spun up a new VM in the same zone and set it up as an NFS share and mounted that share on the main server. I downloaded the keydump to the NFS server, then imported the keydump into the main server. When done, I deleted the NFS server. Worked pretty well for me. -- Pete Stephenson _______________________________________________ Sks-devel mailing list Sks-devel@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/sks-devel
