Set Up SSH Keys

[mrbyte]

Hello everybody!!

I would like to secure the SSH connection as I did with my home servers. Is this a correct way to do it on Proxmox?:

Another doubt, is the SSH root login disabled by default?


Thank you very much and best regards!!

overall its the right approach, however you may not need all the steps as you already may have a public key that you simply need to add to PVE nodes. Note I did not read the whole thing.

Another doubt, is the SSH root login disabled by default?

Its not, and it cant be - PVE relies heavily on the root login for intra-cluster communication.

You can, if you want, restrict root login by IP (carefully)

Hello!!
Firstly, thank you very much for your help!!

Well, then I think that maybe it's better left things as are now, I don't want to do changes that perhaps I can forget and break something in the future.

Again, thank you very much and best regards!!
