SSH access

Keys, fingerprints, and the one-liner into your box.

Adding an SSH key

Generate a key locally, then paste the .pub file into the dashboard under SSH Keys. We store the fingerprint, never the private key.

$ ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C you@nairacloud
$ cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
root@prod-api-01:~# ssh-rsa AAAAC3NzaC1lZD… you@nairacloud

Connecting

From the instance detail page, copy the connect line and run it from a machine holding the private key.

$ ssh root@102.89.13.22
Welcome to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (GNU/Linux 5.15.0-91 x86_64)

Key rotation

  • Add the new public key first, verify you can log in, then remove the old one.
  • Revoking a key at the dashboard only affects future deploys — it does not lock the key out of running instances.
  • Lost your private key? Rebuild the instance with a fresh key. The old disk is unrecoverable by design.

Console

Every instance carries a browser console as a fallback when your network blocks SSH. Interactive input lands with the realtime backend; the console in the dashboard is read-only today.
