SSH keys regenerate - question

[michu]

Hi,

I need to regenerate SSH keys pair - typically id_rsa and id_rsa.pub files.
My configuration is single PVE host (no cluster). Is it safe to generate new files ? Should I put some files / change files in /etc/pve/priv ?

What should I consider if I want create cluster in future ?


Regards,

Sould be safe if you do not run a cluster.

Hi Dietmar,

Thank you very much for reply.
In /etc/pve/priv I have authkey.key file. What is the purpose of this file ? Does it file has anything common with id_rsa or id_rsa.pub files ?

If no then only one important thing should be placing id_rsa.pub in authorized_keys on other hosts.
