View SSH Key

After adding SSH keys to your environment, you may want to review the details of a specific key, such as its label, fingerprint, or creation date. This helps in managing and auditing server access effectively.

How to View Details of an SSH Key

1. In the Devopness dashboard, navigate to your project, then select the environment where the SSH key was added.
2. Locate the SSH Keys card and click View to open the list of SSH keys associated with the environment.
3. From the list, click on the SSH key you want to inspect.
4. The SSH key details page will display important information such as:
   • Name: A user-friendly name for the key.
   • Fingerprint: A unique identifier for the key.
   • Created At: When the key was added to the environment.

Use this view to verify key details or to confirm which keys have access to your servers.

📄️ Create an SSH key pair

Sometimes you may need to connect to your servers using an SSH client to run terminal commands on your remote server. An SSH public key is used for secure authentication when you use an SSH client to connect to a server managed by Devopness. When you connect, you must provide the private key that matches the public key added to the remote server. Create an SSH private/public key pair to securely authenticate your server access on the new device. Several tools exist to generate SSH public/private key pairs. The following steps show how to generate an SSH key pair on UNIX and UNIX-like platforms.

📄️ Add an SSH key

Sometimes you and your team members need to connect to your servers to run commands from the terminal. Add SSH keys to environment servers to ensure secure server access by only the authorized SSH keys.
