Private key?

[mlitwiniuk]

While adding new host, form asks me for private key. Private key for what / for whom? I have absolutelly no idea what to do with it. Can you please help me out / add some additional hints in form?

manager connects using ssh key authentication. It's the same key you use when you bootstrap your new host instance. Alternatively you can use

dokku access 

I'll take note to add a hint to the form.

I'm getting stuck at this point as well. I've tried adding a public key for a user directly and also adding a deployment key using access and both times the add page spins its cogs for a while and then does nothing else. No host is ever added...

Any ideas?

I had similar problem and solved it like this:

• Go to Keys tab
• Add package key (if want secure option)
• Add Access key
• Click edit and copy public key from access key
• Login on dokku-alt machine by ssh and add public key as admin: echo "<public_key>" | dokku access:add
• Add host from Dashboard
