SSH Keys

SSH keys are injected into new virtual machines so you can open a shell without passwords. Manage them under Settings → SSH Keys.

Add an SSH key

  1. Enter a Key name (e.g. MacBook Pro, Framework laptop, CI deploy key)
  2. Paste your Public key (e.g. ssh-ed25519 AAAA...)
  3. Click + Add key

The key is saved and available to select when creating a VM.

Generate a key

If you don't have one yet, the platform shows the recommended command:

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "rumpty"

Run this locally, then paste the contents of ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub into the Public key field.

Saved keys

The Saved SSH Keys panel lists all keys on your account:

FieldDetails
NameThe label you gave the key
FingerprintSHA256 fingerprint for verification
CreatedDate and time the key was added

Delete a key

Click Delete next to a key. Deleting a key does not affect VMs that were already created with it — the key remains on those VMs. It only prevents the key from being injected into future VMs.
