SSH Keys
Manage and configure your SSH keys for secure server access.
dFlow provides a dedicated section for managing SSH Keys, allowing you to connect securely to your servers through SSH.
You can either:
- Create a new SSH Key directly within dFlow.
- Paste your own SSH Key values if you already have one.
Once created, SSH keys cannot be edited. If you need to update a key, you must create a new one and remove the old one.
We offer two key generation options:
- RSA Key: A widely used 2048-bit RSA key.
- Ed25519 Key: A modern 256-bit key offering stronger security with shorter length.
| Aspect | RSA (2048-bit) | Ed25519 (256-bit) |
|---|---|---|
| Key Size | Large (2048+ bits) | Small (256 bits) |
| Speed | Slower | Faster |
| Security Level | Good | Higher (per bit) |
| Compatibility | Very broad | Modern systems only |
If you choose to paste your own SSH Key, ensure you use the correct format for the key type. The Public and Private Key fields must follow the standard SSH format.
Creating an SSH Key
To create a new SSH key in dflow:
- Go to the Security page.
- Open the SSH Keys tab and click + Add SSH Key.
- Enter a name and paste your public/private key.
- If you don’t have a key yet, click Generate RSA Key or Generate Ed25519 Key.
- After generation, you can download or copy both the public and private keys.
- Click Add SSH Key to create.
Deleting an SSH Key
- Go to the SSH Keys tab and click the delete icon next to the key.
- If the key is connected to any server, detach it first.
- Once detached, click Delete to remove the SSH key.
