#How to add SSH PublicKey login to your server

  • ssh-keygen
  • Use no passphrase, use custom file like my_identity_rsa + my_identity_rsa.pub
  • port install ssh-copy-id
  • ssh-copy-id -i my_identity_rsa.pub root@server // It takes care of everything like permissions etc.
  • chmod g-w,o-w ~ // Ensure home directory is not writable by others and groups.
  • ssh-add my_identity_rsa // Let me use this key
