I'll take that into account.



A better process could be to have a systemd drop in file that on
"start" takes .PEM files and turns them into the nss db, OR loads
them into the existing NSS db. This would be useful upstream too, so
maybe that's a better strategy, and of course, tools for PEM
management are much better from a sys admin view. Would this be a
cleaner approach do you think?



do you have any docs about this process?
I'm not really sure if I understand you when you say "This would be useful upstream too", can you elaborate?

The feature doesn't exist yet, so if you write a PEM -> NSS tool, the project would love to accept it to our source code. It's been something I have wanted for a while, and recently I have been thinking with containers I should more seriously develop it, but if you wanted to add this, we would review and help you achieve it :)

I don't believe this is supported anymore but there is a PKCS#11 PEM reader plugin for NSS, https://github.com/kdudka/nss-pem

Or a version written using OpenSSL is soft-pkcs11 but the original location is gone. There may be a tar file lying around somewhere though.
