SSH Keys ​

SSH keys added via our VPS control panel are automatically injected into the VPS at first installation or rebuild — no manual setup needed.

Add an SSH key ​

  1. Log in to the VPS control panel.
  2. In the top menu, click SSH Keys and then Add Key.
  3. Give the key a name and paste your public SSH key into the Public Key field.

DANGER

Do not paste your private key into that field.

  1. Click Save.

Rebuild your server ​

During a rebuild you can choose which SSH key you want to inject. The selected keys will be automatically added to /root/.ssh/authorized_keys on your new system.

Key is in the panel, but SSH keeps asking for a password ​

In this case the key was added after the VPS installation. The key injection process only runs during the initial setup or a rebuild.

Manually add your key ​

You have two options to add your SSH key to an existing VPS.

1. Copy the key from your computer:

bash
ssh-copy-id root@SERVER_IP

cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub | ssh root@SERVER_IP "mkdir -p ~/.ssh && cat >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys && chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys"
