How to add SSH key to a running IBM virtual server?

During creating Virtual server on IBM cloud you are allowed to select one or more SSH key from ssh keys you have added. But I can not find a way to add any new ssh key after instance creation.
So how can I attach ssh key to running IBM Virtual server?

Solution

  • In order to add another SSH key to your virtual server, you have to

    1. log in to that machine and
    2. add the key information to the file ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file

    When you take a look into that file, you should see the key(s) configured during instance creation.
