SSH Keys

Securely access your Compute instances.

generating a Key Pair​

If you don't have an SSH key, generate one locally:

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "your_email@example.com"

This enables you to create a public key (id_ed25519.pub) and a private key (id_ed25519).

Importing a Key​

  1. Navigate to Enterprise > SSH Keys.
  2. Click Import Key.
  3. Paste the content of your public key (cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub).
  4. Give it a recognizable name (e.g., Laptop-Key).

Using Keys​

When creating a new Virtual Instance or Bare Metal server, select your imported key. The key will be automatically added to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the server.
