Publishing /.well-known/keybase.txt via Jekyll

Posted on Oct 20, 2022

Adding the keybase specific page to Jekyll just requires adding a some additional frontmatter to the content that keybase gives you, then adding the file to the root of your site:

Create a keybase.txt file in the root of your site, then add the frontmatter and keybase verification text as follows:

---
layout: false
permalink: .well-known/keybase.txt
---

<Pasted content from keybase>

Save that and start your jekyll server with jekyll s, and you should find that the file is available at http://localhost:4000/.well-known/keybase.txt in plain text.
