And then pass the `--signing-key` argument to `melange build`.

### Tips for building on Ubuntu

1. Non-native builds will fail unless `qemu-user-static` is installed:

```

2024/11/04 17:58:21 WARN /etc/os-release is missing

```

You can install `qemu-user-static` with `sudo apt install qemu-user-static`.

2. `melange build` may be blocked by AppArmor, an issue similar to those described in [LP: #2046844](https://launchpad.net/bugs/2046844). You can unblock it by adding an apparmor profile, such as:

```
$ cat /etc/apparmor.d/melange
abi <abi/4.0>,
include <tunables/global>

profile melange /home/user/go/bin/melange flags=(unconfined) {
userns,

# Site-specific additions and overrides. See local/README for details.
include if exists <local/melange>
}
```
Modify the path to the `melange` binary as appropriate. Then run `sudo systemctl reload apparmor`.


## Debugging melange Builds

To include debug-level information on melange builds, edit your `melange.yaml` file and include `set -x` in your pipeline. You can add this flag at any point of your pipeline commands to further debug a specific section of your build.
