Anyone else having issues to add a new SSH key to your balena account?

Hi guys,

I would like to add an SSH Key to my account here: balena dashboard

So I used openssl and generated a public key from my private.key but it is not accepted by the form:

-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----

-----END PUBLIC KEY-----

I’m aware that of the regexp but this is also not working:

ssh-rsa MIICIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAg8AMIICCgKCAgEAxjFRcizk/RA3YmLJf5hF

The error is the same:

should match pattern "^(ssh-rsa|ssh-dss|ssh-ed25519|ecdsa-sha2-nistp256|ecdsa-sha2-nistp384|ecdsa-sha2-nistp521) [A-Za-z0-9+/=]+( [^  ]+)*$"

So if anyone could get a new public SSH key working I’d be happy to know what format / public key you were using.

Hi,

This sounds like the same issue I solved here.
To save you a click: try running your public key through ssh-keygen -i -f <ssh2 keyfile>.pub and use the output from that.

Thanks, this worked together with ecdsa-sha2-nistp521

What should I do if I encounter issues while adding an SSH key to my Balena account?
