Add an SSH Key
The final part of the server setup process involves adding one or more SSH keys to your server as this ultimately allows you to gain access to your server. You may add as many SSH keys to ARKLauncher as you wish and select one or more of them to add to your blockchain.
Navigate to ‘Select SSH Keys’
While viewing the Blockchain Wizard, you will notice a strikethrough across the three preceding steps. In order to add one or more SSH keys to your blockchain, you will need to click on Add SSH Key.
The Select SSH Keys page contains two fields that you will need to fill in.
Name - Enter in a name or unique identifier for your SSH key.
Public Key - Upon generating your SSH key, you will need to copy and paste the public key in the provided field.
