SSH key & access management
Is this just me or managing ssh keys is still in 1990? I freelance for a few companies which means about 100 new lines in .ssh/config. How do you guys solve this?
- selectnull 12y agoWhat exactly is your problem? My .ssh/config file is 4kb, it has 77 HostName entries, it's easily backed up (and if I lose it I wouldn't really cry about it) and it's easy to maintain (every once in a while I add another server). I'm not saying that this scales to large teams of developers and hundreds or more servers, but at this scale I really see no problems.
- guiambros 12y agoLikewise. We have a couple of dozen servers, for multiple clients (we're a web agency). Provided you're organized, document things properly, and have a standard set of SSH keys, the only annoying part is the 30 seconds it takes to create a new entry in .ssh/config (or whatever ssh client you use).
