Quickstart SSH update #34

Closed cmgorton closed 3 years ago

cmgorton commented 3 years ago

Adding a section to explain that an RSA-based key is needed for AWS in step 7 of the Quick Start guide.

I wonder if it's better to just explicitly tell people to create ~/.ssh/forem / forem.pub, and update the AWS playbook: https://github.com/forem/selfhost/blob/main/playbooks/providers/aws.yml#L21

I could totally be wrong here so maybe @jdoss can chime in but I thought we had it as RSA-based keys because "The keys that Amazon EC2 uses are 2048-bit SSH-2 RSA keys."

Or am I reading your response wrong and you meant only changing the path we tell people to put the keys in. So instead of saving to ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub the keys would also go in ${HOME}/.ssh/forem?
