Generate a good SSH key

Mon, 03 Aug 2020 20:51:47 +0000

If you don’t have any keys, generate a default one:

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -a 100 -q -N "" -f ~/.ssh/id_ed25519

And if you want it generated in the current directory do:

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -a 100 -q -N "" -f "$PWD"/renameme

Change the name by passing the -C argument:

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -a 100 -q -N "" -f "$PWD"/deploy_key_1 -C deploy_key_1

Don’t use RSA anymore, it’s outdated and insecure, yet some servers have not updated to the newer versions above…
