How-To: pos ssh
SSH agent key management. Tool: load-keys.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
pos ssh load-keys |
Load all ~/.ssh/id_* private keys into the ssh-agent |
pos ssh load-keys — keys into the agent
pos ssh load-keys
Loads every ~/.ssh/id_* private key into a shared ssh-agent. Skips .pub,
known_hosts, authorized_keys, and config; validates keys before adding.
Requires the system-wide ssh-agent.service (socket /run/ssh-agent/socket),
installed by postinstall.sh. ~/.bashrc exports SSH_AUTH_SOCK to it, so
agent-using tools (git, ssh, rsync) work from any session.
Recipe: after a fresh boot, before pushing to your server:
pos ssh load-keys && ssh -T git@gitea.skink-platy.ts.net
Troubleshooting:
- "Could not connect to agent" →
ssh-agent.serviceisn't running:sudo systemctl start ssh-agent && sudo systemctl enable ssh-agent, then re-login or re-source.bashrcforSSH_AUTH_SOCK. - Key not loaded → confirm it's
~/.ssh/id_*(non-.pub), perms600, and has no passphrase prompt issue; usessh-add -lto list loaded keys.
