SSH Key Authentication Setup Guide

On Local Machine

1. Generate SSH key pair (if not exists):

   ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "proxmox-deployment" -f ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_proxmox
   

2. Copy public key to Proxmox host:

   ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_proxmox.pub root@192.168.11.10
   

On Proxmox Host

1. Edit SSH config:

   nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
   

2. Set these options:

   PasswordAuthentication no
   PubkeyAuthentication yes
   

3. Restart SSH service:

   systemctl restart sshd
   

Test

ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_proxmox root@192.168.11.10

Note: Keep password authentication enabled until SSH keys are verified working!
