SSH Key Authentication

Overview

SSH key authentication provides a secure way to connect to your deployment servers without passwords.

Generating SSH Keys

DeployHQ automatically generates an SSH key pair for each project. You can find the public key in your project settings.

Adding Keys to Your Server

Copy the public key and add it to your server authorized_keys file.

Troubleshooting SSH Connections

If you cannot connect, verify the key is added correctly and the SSH port is open.
