Hi,
I'm going through the new operators tutorial and at the add your server step, I was getting an error:
abra server add
INFO[0000] successfully created /root/.abra/servers/
INFO[0000] attempting to create client for
INFO[0000] cleaning up context for
INFO[0000] attempting to clean up server directory for
FATA[0000] ssh auth: permission denied for

I had been able to run ssh - which prompted for a password.

Does Abra require the use of SSH keys? I didn't see it mentioned in the tutorial or the linked troubleshooting note. However when I followed setup instructions for an ssh key (vaguely followed https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-configure-ssh-key-based-authentication-on-a-linux-server running ssh-keygen on my local machine and then copying them over to the remote machine) and tried running abra again, it worked.

So it seems to me that there's a requirement to set up ssh with keys (rather than a password) which isn't mentioned in the docs.
