From 700248bfef7bf72dccad7107ac6ee0f5a2f8ccfe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christopher 'm4z' Holm Date: Wed, 8 Jun 2022 17:42:23 +0200 Subject: Update remote_client.md Explicitly include copy-and-paste code line for `ssh-copy-id` because people like myself will easily forget this part and (repeatedly) overlook it in the text. :blush: Supersedes #14445 and attempts to address review by @TomSweeneyRedHat there (but enforcing a filename instead of using a placeholder).

The remote client works considerably smoother using SSH keys. To set up your ssh connection, you need to generate an ssh key pair from your client machine. *NOTE:* in some instances, using a `rsa` key will cause connection issues, be sure to create an `ed25519` key. ``` -ssh-keygen -t ed25519 +ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 +``` +Your public key by default should be in your home directory under `~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub`. You then need to copy the contents of `id_ed25519.pub` and append it into `~/.ssh/authorized_keys` on the Linux server. You can automate this using `ssh-copy-id`: +``` +ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub 192.168.122.1 ``` -Your public key by default should be in your home directory under ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub.

If you do not wish to use SSH keys, you will be prompted with each Podman command for your login password. -- cgit v1.2.3-54-g00ecf
