Setup: SSH Key

SSH keys are used for a variety of reasons:

• Logging into servers
  • Authentication
• CI/CD Pipelines

Setup: SSH Key - Creation

Prepwork

cd ~/.ssh
mkdir skynet
cd skynet

Creation

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "<comment>"

• Location: $USERNAME
  • $USERNAME is your Skynet username.
  • For example silver for me
• Password: Press Enter twice
  • This sets no password on the file

This creates $USERNAME.pub which we will use later.

Setup: SSH Key - Config

Now we have to create a config file for ssh.

Windows

cd ../
"" > config

Linux

cd ../
touch config

In that config file pop this:

Host *.skynet.ie
   User $USERNAME
   IdentityFile ~/.ssh/skynet/$USERNAME
   IdentitiesOnly yes

Setup: SSH Key - Account

• Now we need to add it to your account.
• Remember the $USERNAME.pub in ~/.ssh/skynet ?
• We now need to read it

cat ~/.ssh/skynet/$USERNAME.pub

• Copy the text and go to https://account.skynet.ie/modify
• Select the SSH Key field and submit.

Congratulations, you now have full access to all of Skynet's services!
Now to learn how to access them!
