Set Up SSH Keys

mrbyte said:
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?:

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)

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!! :)
