+# GnuPG - The GNU Privacy Guard
+
+> [GnuPG][] is a complete and free implementation of the OpenPGP standard as defined by [RFC4880][] (also known as PGP).
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Fix failed IPC connection call on macOS
+
+There is a problem where the `gpg-agent` is not able to create the socket files within the `~/.gnupg` folder that is symlinked to the [gocryptfs][] container (to securely store the GPG keys encrypted):
+
+```raw
+gpg: can’t connect to the agent: IPC connect call failed
+```
+
+See the „igloosync-dropbox“ setup from the [systemd][gh-igloo-snowblock-systemd] and [launchd][gh-igloo-snowblock-launchd] setup snowblocks.
+
+The error might be caused by either the macOS filesystem (APFS) that doesn't support the creation of sockets (it works fine on other Arch Linux hosts like `igloo`) or by restrictions due to read/write permissions that are not passed through.
+
+One solution/workaround is to change the default **absolute** file paths of the socket files by
+
+1. creating a `S.gpg-agent` and `S.gpg-agent.ssh` file manually in the `$GNUPGPHOME` folder (defaults to `~/.gnupg`).
+2. adding the `extra-socket` and `browser-socket` options in the `gpg-agent.conf` file with the desired paths.
+
+**NOTE**: The created `S.gpg-agent` and `S.gpg-agent.ssh` files allow to use values of environment variables via [string interpolation][wikipedia-string-interpol], e.g. `${HOME}`.
+
+###### `S.gpg-agent`
+
+```raw
+%Assuan%
+socket=${HOME}/path/to/S.gpg-agent
+```
+
+###### `S.gpg-agent.ssh`
+
+```raw
+%Assuan%
+socket=${HOME}/path/to/S.gpg-agent.ssh
+```
+
+###### `gpg-agent.conf`
+
+```conf
+# ...
+# Disable the usage of the default/standard sockets.
+no-use-standard-socket
+
+# Set the cutom paths of the socket files.
+extra-socket /path/to/S.gpg-agent.extra
+browser-socket /path/to/S.gpg-agent.browser
+# ...
+```
+
+**NOTE**: It is important to make sure that the **target folder exists** and the **permissions** are set to `700`!
+
+```sh
+chmod 700 ~/path/to/target/folder
+```
+
+See the [references](#references) for more information and details.
