SSH Keys

This guide shows you how to import your ssh key into your digitalocean account.

Let’s begin by browsing to the Settings page of your digitalocean console. Once on the settings page look on the sidebar you’ll see the Security section.

Click on the Add SSH key button.

Create SSH Key

You’ll see an Add SSH key form. Copy the ssh key from your terminal into the Public Key field.

You can get the public key content from your terminal by running

cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

If you are using ed25519 keys, you can run

cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub

Give the key a name and click Add SSH key.
