How do I verify my image?

Once you have downloaded an image, verify it for security and integrity. To verify your image, start by downloading the proper CHECKSUM file into the same directory as the image you downloaded.

Workstation

For aarch64

Server

aarch64 Minimal
For aarch64
For ppc64le
For s390x

Cloud

For aarch64 iso
For aarch64 images
For ppc64le images
For s390x images
For Cloud Base images

Container

For aarch64
For ppc64le
For s390x

Next, import Fedora's GPG key(s):

$ curl https://getfedora.org/static/fedora.gpg | gpg --import

You can verify the details of the GPG key(s) here.

Now, verify that the CHECKSUM file is valid:

$ gpg --verify-files *-CHECKSUM

The CHECKSUM file should have a good signature from one of the following keys:

  • 12C944D0 - Fedora 32
  • 3C3359C4 - Fedora 31
  • CFC659B9 - Fedora 30
  • DBBDCF7C - IOT 2019

Finally, now that the CHECKSUM file has been verified, check that the image's checksum matches:

$ sha256sum -c *-CHECKSUM

If the output states that the file is valid, then it's ready to use!
