Feb 23, 2017 Re: Raspberry Ubuntu Core - no ssh keys found. Ubuntu core sure could use more support here in the raspberry pi forum. The guys down at Canonical decided to do it different from everyone else. So the system is only administered from the remote console. That means that you need to create an SSH key on the client. Create keys on your local computer, not on the Pi You will need to use a program to generate a public/private key pair. The public key will be uploaded onto the Pi and you will use the private key on any computer (phone, tablet etc.) you wish to access it with. The private key must be kept private. Let’s walk through setting up SSH access on the server side. In this example, you’ll use the authorizedkeys method for authenticating your users. We also assume you’re running a standard Linux distribution like Ubuntu. First, you create a 'git' user and a.ssh directory for that user. If you will want your pi to connect to other computers using SSH keys, you'll need to generate SSH keys for the pi as well. To create a key use the following command: ssh-keygen -t rsa -C ' youremail@example.com ' The -t option specifies RSA key generation, which is a technical detail beyond this tutorial. Secure push and pull with no password GIT. Ask Question Asked 5 years, 11 months ago. Are you pushing to GitHub or to your Raspberry PI server? Or are you SSH'd into your Raspberry PI server and pushing from there to GitHub? Please clarify your question. You need to generate your SSH keys (like @Ajedi32 exlains).

It is possible to configure your Pi to allow your computer to access it without providing a password each time you try to connect. To do this you need to generate an SSH key:

I need to configure a raspberry pi in a way that I know its ssh fingerprints before the first boot, so the only way is to generate the keys in the SD card on my computer and get the fingerprints.

Check for existing SSH keys

First, check whether there are already keys on the computer you are using to connect to the Raspberry Pi:

If you see files named id_rsa.pub or id_dsa.pub you have keys set up already, so you can skip the generating keys step (or delete these files with rm id* and make new keys).

Generate new SSH keys

To generate new SSH keys enter the following command:

Upon entering this command, you'll be asked where to save the key. We suggest you save it in the default location (/home/pi/.ssh/id_rsa) by just hitting Enter.

You'll also be asked to enter a passphrase. This is extra security which will make the key unusable without your passphrase, so if someone else copied your key, they could not impersonate you to gain access. If you choose to use a passphrase, type it here and press Enter, then type it again when prompted. Leave the field empty for no passphrase.

Now look inside your .ssh directory:

and you should see the files id_rsa and id_rsa.pub:

The id_rsa file is your private key. Keep this on your computer.

The id_rsa.pub file is your public key. This is what you share with machines you want to connect to. When the machine you try to connect to matches up your public and private key, it will allow you to connect.

Take a look at your public key to see what it looks like:

It should be in the form:

Copy your public key to your Raspberry Pi

To copy your public key to your Raspberry Pi, use the following command, on the computer you will be connecting from, to append the public key to your authorized_keys file on the Pi, sending it over SSH:

Note that this time you will have to authenticate with your password.

Alternatively, if the ssh-copy-id is not available on your system, you can copy the file manually over SSH:

If you see the message ssh: connect to host <IP-ADDRESS> port 22: Connection refused and you know the IP-ADDRESS is correct, then you probably haven't enabled SSH on your Pi. Run sudo raspi-config in the Pi's terminal window, enable SSH, and then try to copy the files again.

Now try ssh <USER>@<IP-ADDRESS> and you should connect without a password prompt.

If you see a message 'Agent admitted failure to sign using the key' then add your RSA or DSA identities to the authentication agent ssh-agent then execute the following command:

If this did not work, delete your keys with rm ~/.ssh/id* and follow the instructions again.

You can also send files over SSH using the scp command (secure copy). See the SCP guide for more information.

Let macOS store your passphrase so you don't have to enter it each time

Raspberry Pi Generate Ssh Keys Windows 10

If you're using macOS and after verifying that your new key allows you to connect, you can optionally choose to store the passphrase for your key in the macOS Keychain. This will make it so that you don't have to enter the passphrase each time you connect to your Pi.
