Maybe add a note to the top of your blog and in the README so folks who just need SSH don't end up building their own images?

Hey! I'm aware that SSH is now enabled by default, but it doesn't have a default keypair nor a default password I believe - which makes this project still useful!

I've started working on a side project a while ago to be able to change a prebuilt image file online to add a keypair, but that hasn't come to life yet. Feel free to correct me if I've got anything wrong!

I think the idea is that you would add your key to /root/.ssh/authorized_keys once the image is written to a block device. I'm concerned that new users will find your post indicating that ssh is disabled and get side tracked creating a custom image.

Hey, apologies for the delay. You're absolutely right, I'll add a note here and in the blog post to make it clear!
