 K900 | Yes, but it's not really designed to be used interactively | 06:41:00 |
| K900 | The way you're trying to use it | 06:41:04 |
| K900 | If you want that kind of thing, you should encrypt to a secret like your machine's SSH host key | 06:41:21 |
| K900 | That is stored on an encrypted disk | 06:41:29 |

If you want that kind of thing, you should encrypt to a secret like your machine's SSH host key Hum I think I wasnt clear sorry. I dont want the boot sequence to be interactive and asking for my ssh host key password. Maybe i didnt set up my ssh key good enough with nix? | 07:06:43 |
| K900 | You don't want any password prompts at all? | 07:07:03 |
| K900 | Then you just need to encrypt to your SSH host key | 07:07:16 |
| K900 | Not your user key | 07:07:19 |

You don't want any password prompts at all? I dont want a password prompt hanging on the boot sequence as it freezes my machine, and the "asking for password prompt" is hidden behind the nixos booting logo. Im used to only have one ssh key with other linux distrib,so i prob didnt setup things properly by having the same key for host and user. Ill investigate! | 07:16:23 |
| K900 | The host key is not something you need to manually create | 07:16:52 |
| K900 | It's created when you start sshd for the first time, in /etc/ssh/sshhostkey_ed25519 | 07:17:05 |
| laurent | Ahh thx, i wasnt even aware of this folder! I put my key in my ~/.ssh as for other linux! | 07:20:11 |
| K900 | Those are different keys | 07:20:23 |
| K900 | Your key in ~/.ssh identifies your user | 07:20:28 |
| K900 | The host key in /etc/ssh identifies the machine | 07:20:35 |
