Using SSH Key login on Galapagos

By default, you can log in to the Galapagos cluster over ssh using your Cloud Identity Premium account username and password.

Note

Your username is the name prefixing the @fluidnumerics.com in your cloud identity account. For example, the username for hello@fluidnumerics.com is hello.

Adding SSH Keys to your account

The Galapagos cluster supports using ssh key authentication. To use this feature, you need to add an SSH key to your Cloud Identity account. The easiest method for doing this is to use the gcloud command line interface (CLI).

To get started, install the gcloud CLI.

Once installed, initialize gcloud on your system with

gcloud init

When prompted, be sure to log in with your provided fluidnumerics.com account.

After you have initialized the gcloud CLI with your fluidnumerics.com account, you can use the gcloud compute os-login ssh-keys add command to add a locally create ssh key to your cloud identity account.

E.g. To add the key in $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub to your OS Login profile, run:

gcloud compute os-login ssh-keys add --key-file=$HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
