Are certificates supported by any cloud provider or Git hosting platform? They usually only let you add public keys to your account.

Even if they didn't, it'd be trivial to extend their sshd_config by myself anyway. 1: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/operations/ssh_certificates.html https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/operations/ssh_cer...

    It is true that you are free to change the config on a VM manually. I included it because it's the only other service I could think of where you might set up SSH authentication. This is interesting about GitLab, thanks for the pointer. As you mentioned it only appears to be configurable instance-wide, there is no way for a user or organization to set it up for themselves (for example for your gitlab.com organization). That makes it a bad replacement for SyncThing'd private keys as moviuro suggested.
