Packaging

The packaging/ directory contains files consumed during build and installation.

Development key

packaging/dev-key.bin is a 32-byte pre-shared key embedded in development builds as a fallback. It is committed to the repository and is therefore public. Use it only for local development and CI loopback tests.

The server logs a recurring warning when this key is active. In production, install a per-device key with netprovd keygen --install. The shipped service sets NETPROV_PRODUCTION=1, which disables the fallback.

systemd service

packaging/netprovd.service runs netprovd serve-ble and refuses to start without a real key at /etc/netprov/key.

The Debian package installs this page under /usr/share/doc/netprov/.
