Google App Engine Service Accounts that work in local development: A guide for the lost and weary

It is easy to get service accounts working with App Engine's app_devserver.py - once you know how.

On the way there, you might have pulled out all your hair following one documentation dead end after another, trying to piece together the right information.

Here are the steps you need to take, in exact order, to get this working. Once you follow these steps, you'll be able to use service accounts in local development, so that you can interact with Google APIs (e.g.: Spreadsheet, Calendar) in a way that is consistent with the deployment environment on App Engine.

In order to follow the instructions, you'll be better off using the latest UI for Google Cloud projects. Older interfaces (such as the dedicated App Engine dashboard) have things in different places, under different names, etc. It is a world of pain there.

Also note that I've tested this on several 1.9.x releases of App Engine; I can't confirm the behaviour of earlier releases.

Copy between S3 buckets w/ different accounts

This is a mix between two sources:

basically the first resource is great but didn't work for me: I had to remove the trailing "/*" in the resource string to make it work. I also noticed that setting the policy on the source bucket was sufficient. In the end these are the exact steps I followed to copy data between two buckets on two accounts

Basically the idea there is:

  • we allowe the destination account to read the source bucket (in the console for the source account)
  • we log as the destination and start the copy

Instructions for exporting/importing (backup/restore) GPG keys

Every so often I have to restore my gpg keys and I'm never sure how best to do it. So, I've spent some time playing around with the various ways to export/import (backup/restore) keys.

Method 1

Backup the public and secret keyrings and trust database

cp ~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg /path/to/backups/
cp ~/.gnupg/secring.gpg /path/to/backups/
cp ~/.gnupg/trustdb.gpg /path/to/backups/

or, instead of backing up trustdb...
