Creating SSH Key Pair

This is mostly for my reference but may be of use to other people

SSH Key Pair on Windows:

Generate key:

ssh-keygen

Transfer to Server/VM

cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh user@host "mkdir -p ~/.ssh && touch ~/.ssh/authorized_keys && chmod -R go= ~/.ssh && cat >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys"

Disable Password Authentication

sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config

..
PasswordAuthentication no
..

At the top of config, there may be a include, check this configuration for password authentication also

Restart SSH Service

sudo systemctl restart ssh
