Keychain

Keychain will help you maintaining your SSH-keys and using them automagically. This package is installed on both servers.

Quick start for bash-shell:

  1. identify or create the SSH-keys you want to use on your command line
  2. add the following line with the filenames of the private keys to your bash startup file ~/.bashrc, for example:

    ~/.bashrc
    eval "$(keychain --eval $HOME/.ssh/gitlab $HOME/.ssh/id_ed25519)"
    
  3. next time you login keychain will check if a SSH-agent is already running and if the required SSH-keys are available. If needed you will be asked for a SSH-key unlock password
