    as a nixos enjoyer, i have no idea how to setup ssh keys. fail2ban and a regular password for me.

    yes, i have locked myself out of my own server for hours at a time because i’m an absolute tool.

      Ehm… I’m also on Nixos and I’d say it’s super trivial.

      services.openssh = {
  enable = true;
  settings = {
    PasswordAuthentication = false;
    PermitRootLogin = "no";
  };
};

users.users.<name>.openssh.authorizedKeys.keys = [ list of pubkeys ideally read from file in repo ];
