Upload Public SSH Key to Your Yolo Account

There is no front-end to your capsul. All access to it will be remote, for example, with ssh. You need to create SSH keys and upload your public key to your account before you can create a capsul.

This guide explains how to create SSH Keys on your local Windows computer. The steps describe using Window's built-in OpenSSH feature. If you prefer PuTTY, you can skip to step 5.

1. Open an Administrator PowerShell window.

2. Use the get-WindowsCapability command to find out if Windows already has the OpenSSH client installed.

   get-WindowsCapability -Online | ? Name -like 'OpenSSH.client*'

   If you see "State : Installed" in the response, you don't need to add it. If it is not installed, use the Add-WindowsCapability command to add it.

   Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name OpenSSH.client~~~~0.0.1.0

   

3. Open the Windows cmd.exe command window. Make sure you have a subdirectory named .ssh in your home directory.

   cmd.exe
   cd %USERPROFILE%
   dir .ssh
   mkdir .ssh
   c:\windows\system32\OpenSSH\ssh-keygen.exe

   Run ssh-keygen.exe to generate an SSH key pair. Press enter key to accept the default filename. Press enter key twice to skip adding a passphrase. Your key pair identification is then saved in the .ssh subdirectory. You will see a key fingerprint ending in your-windows-username@your-windows-hostname. You'll also see the key's randomart image.

   

4. Launch Notepad.exe and open file c:\users\userid\.ssh\id_rsa.pub. Select all of the file's contents and copy to the clipboard.

   

5. Open your browser and go to the SSH PUBLIC KEYS page in your browser. You'll see a box labeled File Contents. Paste your public key from the clipboard into the box. Then, click the Upload button.

   

6. Your uploaded public key will appear near the top of the page.

Congratulations, you have uploaded your public SSH key to your yolo account.
