# Adding SSH keys
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To incorporate SSH keys, for instance, to enable authentication with a Git server, follow these steps:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Step 0: If necessary, generate a keypair, for example using the command:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
ssh-keygen -t ed25519
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Please note that setting a password for the keypair is not yet tested.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Step 1: Create a new file named `yourservice.yaml` within the [secrets](../../../secrets/) directory by executing the following command:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
sops secrets/yourservice.yaml
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Within this file, create a value that contains your private key. For example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```yaml
|
||
|
|
yourservice:
|
||
|
|
ssh: |
|
||
|
|
-----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----
|
||
|
|
<...>
|
||
|
|
-----END OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Step 2: Reference this value in [your sops configuration](../../utils/sops/default.nix) as follows:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
sops.secrets."yourservice/ssh".format = "yaml";
|
||
|
|
sops.secrets."yourservice/sss".sopsFile = secrets/youservice.yaml;
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Step 3: Finally, add the SSH key to your SSH configuration so that it is used correctly when connecting to your host. Add the following lines to your SSH configuraton file:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
Host yourservice
|
||
|
|
IdentityFile /run/secrets/yourservice/ssh
|
||
|
|
```
