  • In this Linux/Mac terminal tutorial, we will be learning how to configure ssh keys so that we can login to our servers without a password. Not only is this more convenient, but it is also more secure. This also allows us to write automated scripts to talk to our servers without the need of putting in passwords constantly. Let's get started.

    Well Explained. As a developer, it was bit difficult to understand others tutorial. Keep up the good work.

    You have this special quality to explain things with simplicity.. Be it git or linux or python. I just enjoy your videos. A massive yes to your videos because you show hands on and not just theory. Awesome beyond Awesomeness

    Simple, Clear and Short video about SSH. Just just nailed it. Awesome job!!

  • @DannyDaDane
    @DannyDaDane Год назад

    The way I remember is that the public key is like the lock on the door that everyone can try their private keys on, but only your private key will actually open the lock.
    Copying the Public key is just installing the lock on the door on the server, that only your private key can open.
    Great video btw!

    @randmssolutions9013 2 года назад +3

    As always, Corey explained the usage in a manner that is easily understood. I was stumped by the official SSH documentation because it doesn't clearly indicate which machine to copy the public key over to. Thank you Corey.

    This is by far the best and clearest explanation of how to implement k-b-a.
    I have used keys for a while but never fully understood the details.
    Thanks for this great tutorial Corey

    Great tuturial! Works on Windows to Linux too. If you use powershell the commands will be the same, just you have to type out your home directory manually when doing the scp instead of ~

    Hey, Corey. I've used a couple of your tutorials so far. I set up (2) virtual Ubuntu-18.04 servers in VirtualBox on a host network with ssh keys login only. Since my host laptop is Ubuntu I do have the ssh-copy-id command but I'm glad you showed the "manual" way of configuring it too. Thanks again.

    I would like to add that it is quite handy to make a file named 'config' in the local .ssh folder and put:
    Host [your shortcode]
    HostName [hostname]
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/[key file name]
    User [username]
    ...
    [copy the above for other servers]
    You can then type in de terminal 'ssh [your shortcode]' and log in directly.

    Excellent videos and tutorials Corey-- I've watched a ton of videos on the same subject matter and content and yours is hands down, the best I've come across. I did have one question, if you get a sec--- what did you have to setup script wise to that you see available software updates and security updates when login? I'm sure I could Google it, but since I'm here anyway I thought I'd ask.

    • @coreyms

      Hey there. Those were new installs of Ubuntu, so I didn't set up anything that I know of. I believe that may just be the default behavior.

    If you get Permission denied (PublicKey) try this commands in your home directory
    > chmod g-w /home/your_user
    > chmod 700 /home/your_user/.ssh
    > chmod 600 /home/your_user/.ssh/authorized_keys

  • @charlesbovalis6591
    @charlesbovalis6591 5 лет назад +2

    Corey - ONCE AGAIN - in a matter of a few minutes - you have cleared a topic that was very unclear to me - THUMBS UP !!!!! Now - I do have a question - do you have a tutorial on what "ssh-agent" and "ssh-agent forwarding" is ? If I can "clear" these concepts in my mind - I will be "golden" ... Only "you" have the "charisma" to clear such tricky topics in a simplistic, comprehensive, and making it "stick" permanently in someone's brain. :) Let me know when you can. Thank you.

    • @coreyms
      @coreyms  5 лет назад

      No, I don't have a video on anything like that yet. I'll write it down in my list of video suggestions though! I can't promise I'll get around to it soon since I have a couple of series' backed up at the moment, but I'll do what I can.

    • @charlesbovalis6591
      @charlesbovalis6591 5 лет назад +2

      @@coreyms Thank you Corey - and one quick clarification - when someone becomes a "paid" member of your channel - does this mean I get access to more topics / classes than what we see here "free" in youtube ?
      Once again - I cannot express my gratitude for discovering you - which first and foremost proves that a "good teacher" is PRICELESS !!!! It's only now after many years of using ssh that I finally understood how things work under the hood .. And so many other topics ... I have passed your name to several colleagues and friends as well ... You are simply "Priceless" !!!!!

    • @coreyms
      @coreyms  5 лет назад

      All of my content is currently available for free. I want everyone to be able to access it. Contributors allow me to keep everything free for everyone, so that’s really where that helps most! I do have a few extra perks for paid members, but it isn’t much. For example, I’ll occasionally make a members only post asking a question where I can get responses from paying members and prioritize those first. But mainly it’s just to help keep my classes free for everyone. Thanks for considering!
