can you create a new pod? btw what template are you using?
templates must has a script to pull the keys and put it in the correct folder inside the pod ( runpod official image usually have this )
Hey, yes i can, i used RunPod Pytorch 2.1 template, the wild thing is i can acces via jupyter acces but not via ssh
created a new pod... with betterTensorFlow.. same issue here...
yes it is defined under SSH Public Keys :/
I'm not sure what would cause it to not work aside from the SSH Key just being wrong :frowning3:
If you're using the
ssh.runpod.io url try the direct ip alternativewhat do you mean with direct ip?
i tried the provided .io url and direct ip with correct port :/
is the SSH Key for root or for the /workspace folder ?
Oh you're using PuTTY does the SSH key you gave runpod start with:
---- BEGIN SSH2 PUBLIC KEY ----
or
ssh-rsa / ssh-ed25519
Thats kind of weird, im used to connect via putty and ssh tunnel via IP/Port on the VM or RunPod in this case 🙂
oh wait
im confused right now...
i connect via putty to
my user is my user and password should be public SSH key i set in https://www.runpod.io/console/user/settings Public SSH Key when prompted in the terminal? Or am i completely nuts right now... 😄
also via ssh [email protected] -p 40159 -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 iam asked for a Password which is obviously not correct
Yes because that's not where your key is located probably
Your user is
root 👁️
And your password is blank, because you're using an SSH Key
I can switch to a windows computer, give me a minute or two hereConnection, SSH, Auth, Credentials
You should have a
.ppk file selected here.... that was my bad... im sorry
thanks for the explanation<3
Pro Tip if that just worked, go back to session
Save it over the default settings (notice I also cleared the hostname, so I can just write it next time I open the app)
So every time you open the app, that key is selected by default 😉
For persistent stuff, you just write the ip you want and save it again and you'll have a little library
You have to have text written in the box or it'll override Default
thanks mate, appreciate that, was somewhere on another planet 😄
sad, the server refuses our key 😄
Inside of
C:\Users\YOURNAME\.ssh
You should have a .ppk file and a .pub file
Or is it only the .ppk file? I haven't setup PuTTY keys in like 10 years
If you don't have file extensions enabled, one will call itself a Putty Private Key and the other should call itself a Publisher Document or somethingi only have the .pkk file as my private key for putty, and pasted the public key what was generated in puttygen into the public api key field in ui of runPod
Looking at that public key (or in the api key field in the runpod console)
Does your key start with:
---- BEGIN SSH2 PUBLIC KEY ----
Comment: ...
nope it starts with ssh-ed25519 #####KEY####
Interesting, in this folder do you have an
id_ed25519 file with no extension?i found a pkk file what describes your question regarding ---- BEGIN SSH2 PUBLIC KEY ---- but i cant choose it in putty itself for private key...
Right, because it's not a private key. Putty uses their own weird format for these keys, hold on a sec don't lose that file
do you have another suggestion like putty?
PuTTY is fine, I also wouldn't know any alternative that isn't "just use a terminal lol"
You can actually convert that
ppk file to the more universal version with PuTTYGen"Load"
this stuff comes from puttygen tbh
Save the file as
id_ed25519 (no extension), overriding anything with that name already if you need to.will do sek
That is your private key, don't share it after you're done.
done
Next, inside the same
.ssh folder make a file and call it id_ed25519.pub and open it with Notepad or something.done
In PuTTYGen, the contents here go in that file and it's what you should tell RunPod your public key is
Mine has an email attached to it, if you want to do the same you can write your email in the "Key comment" textbox
Some people do email, some people put their
username@hostname
Not a requirement, more like style points.your explanation pasted into the .pub file AND into RunPod Public Api Key
Just whatevers inside that "Key" box for you, yours will look different.
correct
done so
Should also be here
correct and updated Public Key aswell
Great, do you have any Pods running?
yes
If you have any running, stop, terminate, then remake them (and also DM me your account email so I can refund you for the time we spent setting up your ssh key)
shouldnt we dont try the connection first or is a complete new pod necessary for that?
Also, i never had such a granular support experience, Thank you!
ive done so
You should be fine now to connect over SSH
terminated the two pods i tried the whole day, redeployed a new one and try to connect now
connected
thank you VERY VERY VERY much
