SSH keys

Add a public SSH key, use it when creating servers, and manage organization keys.

What is an SSH key?

An SSH key replaces a password for secure server access. You store only the public key in Lexoya; the private key stays on your computer.

Add a key to your account

  1. Open SSH Keys from the profile menu.
  2. Click Add SSH Key.
  3. Enter a Key Name, for example "My laptop".
  4. Paste your public key or choose the .pub file.
  5. Click Add Key.
After adding, the Fingerprint is shown. Use Copy Fingerprint to compare it with your local key.
Never upload a private key (such as id_rsa) to the panel. Enter only the .pub file content.

Use it when creating a server

In the Create Server screen, open Select SSH Keys and choose one or more keys. The selected keys are installed on the server during creation.
If you need a new key, use Add SSH Key in the same section.

Organization keys

Organization SSH keys are used for servers in that organization:
  1. Open the organization.
  2. Select SSH Keys.
  3. Click Manage SSH Keys.
  4. Add the public key.
These keys are available only to members who can access the organization's servers.

Delete a key

  1. In the key list, click Delete SSH Key.
  2. Confirm the deletion.
Deleting a key from your account does not remove it from existing servers. To remove it from a server, edit ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on that server.
