I’m new to this, when I created my DigitalOcean “project” it allowed me to enter an SSH key, it works great!
Now I want to add an SSH key for another computer, but I don’t see an option anywhere for that :(

Hello, @jouo
You can follow out tutorial in order to generate a new ssh-key locally on your computer or any other PC and then upload it to your droplet:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-ssh-keys--2
- You need to generate the key using the ssh keygen command:
ssh-keygen -t rsa
- Once this is done you can simply copy the id_rsa.pub key file to the authorized_keys file on your droplet using this command:
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh demo@IPaddress "mkdir -p ~/.ssh && chmod 700 ~/.ssh && cat >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys"
Hope this helps!
Regards, Alex
