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
- Open SSH Keys from the profile menu.
- Click Add SSH Key.
- Enter a Key Name, for example "My laptop".
- Paste your public key or choose the
.pubfile. - 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:
- Open the organization.
- Select SSH Keys.
- Click Manage SSH Keys.
- Add the public key.
These keys are available only to members who can access the organization's servers.
Delete a key
- In the key list, click Delete SSH Key.
- 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.
