# ssh-keyman
|
||||
|
||||
**Deploy existing SSH keys to host**
|
||||
|
||||
## Purpose
|
||||
|
||||
This cube deploys pre-existing SSH key pairs from your local machine to a remote server, configuring them for automatic use with specified hosts (like GitHub, GitLab, etc.).
|
||||
|
||||
## What This Cube Does
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Copies SSH keys to the server**
|
||||
- Transfers both private and public keys from local directory to remote `.ssh` folder
|
||||
- Sets correct file permissions (600 for private, 644 for public)
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Configures SSH client**
|
||||
- Creates/updates `.ssh/config` to use the deployed key for specified hosts
|
||||
- Disables strict host key checking for easier automation
|
||||
- Maps each host to use the correct identity file
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Ensures security**
|
||||
- Sets proper directory permissions (700 for `.ssh`)
|
||||
- Ensures keys are owned by the specified user
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### Parameters
|
||||
|
||||
- **KEY_NAME** (string, default: `'id_ed25519'`)
|
||||
- Name of the SSH key file (without extension)
|
||||
- Must exist in the KEY_DIR directory locally
|
||||
|
||||
- **USER** (string, default: `'vagrant'`)
|
||||
- Username for which to deploy the SSH key
|
||||
- Inherited from `user-add` dependency
|
||||
|
||||
- **HOSTS** (string, default: `'github.com'`)
|
||||
- Space-separated list of hosts to add to known_hosts
|
||||
- Example: `'github.com gitlab.com bitbucket.org'`
|
||||
|
||||
## Dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
- **user-add** - Creates the user account first
|
||||
|
||||
## Use Cases
|
||||
|
||||
Deploy GitHub SSH key:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
exec('ssh-keyman', {
|
||||
KEY_NAME: 'id_github',
|
||||
HOSTS: 'github.com'
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Deploy key for multiple Git services:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
exec('ssh-keyman', {
|
||||
KEY_NAME: 'id_git',
|
||||
HOSTS: 'github.com gitlab.com bitbucket.org'
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## What Gets Configured
|
||||
|
||||
After deployment, the `.ssh/config` file will contain entries like:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Host github.com
|
||||
IdentityFile /home/{USER}/.ssh/id_github
|
||||
StrictHostKeyChecking no
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This means when you run `git clone git@github.com:user/repo.git`, it will automatically use the deployed key.
|
||||
|
||||
## Key File Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
The local KEY_DIR must contain:
|
||||
|
||||
- `{KEY_NAME}` - Private key file
|
||||
- `{KEY_NAME}.pub` - Public key file
|
||||
|
||||
For example, if `KEY_NAME=id_github`, you need:
|
||||
|
||||
- `./vault/tmp/id_github`
|
||||
- `./vault/tmp/id_github.pub`
|
||||
|
||||
## Security Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
- **Private keys are sensitive**: Ensure your local KEY_DIR is secure
|
||||
- **StrictHostKeyChecking disabled**: Convenient but less secure
|
||||
- Consider enabling it for production: Edit `/home/{USER}/.ssh/config`
|
||||
- **Backup your keys**: Keep secure copies of private keys
|
||||
- **Use different keys**: Consider separate keys for different services
|
||||
|
||||
## Post-Installation
|
||||
|
||||
Test SSH connection:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ssh -T git@github.com
|
||||
# Should show: "Hi username! You've successfully authenticated..."
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Clone a repository:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git clone git@github.com:user/repo.git
|
||||
# Should work without prompting for credentials
|
||||
```
