How to manage SSH keys

Add an SSH key

To add a public ssh key to a model, use the add-ssh-key command followed by a string containing the entire key or an equivalent shell formula:

# Use the entire ssh key:
juju add-ssh-key "ssh-rsa qYfS5LieM79HIOr535ret6xy
AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQA6fgBAAABAQCygc6Rc9XgHdhQqTJ

# Use an equivalent shell formula:
juju add-ssh-key "$(cat ~/mykey.pub)"

Import an SSH key

To import a public SSH key from Launchpad / Github to a model, use the import-ssh-key command followed by lp: / gh: and the name of the user account. For example, the code below imports all the public keys associated with the Github user account ‘phamilton’:

juju import-ssh-key gh:phamilton

View the available SSH keys

To list the currently known SSH keys for the current model, use the ssh-keys command.

# List the keys known in the current model
juju ssh-keys

If you want to get more details, or get this information for a different model, use the --full or the --model / -m <model name> option.

Remove an SSH key

To remove an SSH key, use the remove-ssh-key command followed by the key / a space-separated list of keys. The keys may be specified by either their fingerprint or the text label associated with them. The example below illustrates both:

juju remove-ssh-key 45:7f:33:2c:10:4e:6c:14:e3:a1:a4:c8:b2:e1:34:b4 bob@ubuntu
