Wanted: ssh-authorize

[coolaj86]

Step 1

Create and publish a cross-platform command to add a key to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, and set the permissions properly if they are incorrect.

ssh-authorize single-key.pub

# add multiple keys
ssh-authorize https://coolaj86.com/authorized_keys

Bonus: check that the keys aren't already added.

This would be a great project to write in Rust - especially if it doesn't require the extra visual studio runtime libraries - or otherwise Go.

I suppose separate commands in Powershell and Bash could suffice too, if need be.

Step 2

Make a PR to add the installer to Webi, using https://github.com/webinstall/webi-installers/tree/main/keypairs or https://github.com/webinstall/webi-installers/tree/main/ssh-pubkey as a template.

Something like ...

ssh-authorize https://ryanburnette.com/pubkey

... would be cool.

No. That gets the keys of the servers you want to connect to, not the ones you want to connect from.
