cloud-init - ssh key

[Klekele]

Hi,

i have configured a template with cloud-initwith user/pass/dns/ip,.. and for public ssh key i have none, once the VM boots and i want to ssh i always get: Permission denied (publickey).

Is there a possibility to disable ssh key and only use user/pass? (i know its not a good practice, but i would really need to have this option.

Thanks for your replys!

Can you do it? Yes
How? It depends on the template and why the password authentication is prohibited. I am going to assume the most likely reason - it is disabled in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.

Did you create the image yourself from scratch? If yes, modify the sshd_config to allow the password modification and rebuild the image.
Did you use one of the major Cloud Images? If yes, either use image modification commands to change the config, or use custom cloud-init file to modify the sshd config on boot.
You cannot use limited built-in PVE cloud-init to change it.

Keep in mind the built-in and custom user-data are not added to each other. If you start using custom cloud-init you will need to specify everything in it.
