sbctl is a user-friendly Secure Boot key manager for Linux written in Go. It creates and enrolls UEFI Secure Boot keys, tracks files that need signing, verifies the ESP, and generates EFI stub bundles.
Use cases
- set up secure boot on my linux machine
- manage uefi secure boot keys
- sign kernel and bootloader files for secure boot
- generate efi stub unified kernel images
- enroll custom keys into secure boot
- verify which files in the esp are missing signatures
- rotate secure boot signing keys
When to choose
- you want a simple CLI to configure and manage UEFI Secure Boot on Linux
- you need a signing database to keep boot chain files consistently signed
- you want to create unified kernel images / EFI stubs
- you prefer a tool independent of existing secure boot tooling
When to avoid
- you need TPM or hardware token key support (still on the roadmap)
- you are on Windows or macOS since it targets Linux UEFI
- you need a GUI for secure boot management
