gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found while adding Wazuh repository

Question

I'm trying to add the Wazuh repository to download the official Wazuh packages as instructed in their documentation page in an Ubuntu VM.

When I run the command specified in their documentation page:

sudo curl -s https://packages.wazuh.com/key/GPG-KEY-WAZUH | sudo apt-key add -

I am met with the following error:

gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.

Keep in mind I have already found a solution for this issue and I want to share it with anyone else that might be facing the same issue.

I will post the answer below.

Answer 1

The issue was that the required key file was not found. Therefore, adding it using the following command solved the issue:

sudo apt-key add GPG-KEY-WAZUH

Here is the full command to download the official Wazuh packages:

sudo curl -s https://packages.wazuh.com/key/GPG-KEY-WAZUH | sudo apt-key add GPG-KEY-WAZUH

Note: Make sure to run the above command in the root directory of the Wazuh repository

Answer 2

use http instead of https

sudo curl -s http://packages.wazuh.com/key/GPG-KEY-WAZUH | sudo apt-key add -
