linode.SshKey

Explore with Pulumi AI

Provides a Linode SSH Key resource. This can be used to create, modify, and delete Linodes SSH Keys. Managed SSH Keys allow instances to be created with a list of Linode usernames, whose SSH keys will be automatically applied to the root account’s ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file. For more information, see the Linode APIv4 docs.

NOTE: This does not generate a new ssh key, you must have an existing key generated and saved locally.

Example Usage

The following example shows how one might use this resource to configure a SSH Key for access to a Linode Instance.

import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as linode from "@pulumi/linode";
import * as std from "@pulumi/std";

const foo = new linode.SshKey("foo", {
    label: "foo",
    sshKey: std.file({
        input: "~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub",
    }).then(invoke => std.chomp({
        input: invoke.result,
    })).then(invoke => invoke.result),
});
const fooInstance = new linode.Instance("foo", {
    image: "linode/ubuntu22.04",
    label: "foo",
    region: "us-east",
    type: "g6-nanode-1",
    authorizedKeys: [foo.sshKey],
    rootPass: "...",
});
