1. Create public/private key pair

  $ ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your_email@example.com"

2. Create config file

  $ cd ~/.ssh
  $ cat >> config
  Host turris
  Hostname 192.168.1.1
  Port 22
  User root
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa

If remote-editing (using Sublime Text, TextMate, or VS Code) is desired, modify config to resemble:

  Host 192.168.1.1
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
    RemoteForward 52698 localhost:52698

3. Press Enter and Ctrl(⌃)+D to end editing

1. Connect to Turris

  $ ssh root@192.168.1.1

2. Create authorize_keys file

  On router:
  # mkdir ~/.ssh
  # chmod 0700 ~/.ssh
  On your PC:
  $ ssh root@192.168.1.1 "tee -a ~/.ssh/authorized_keys" < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
  On router:
  # chmod 0600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

If you want to be sure that nobody can log in with the password without having the key, edit the configuration file of the sshd service and restart it:

  # vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/local.conf

Write the following strings:

  PasswordAuthentication no
  ChallengeResponseAuthentication no

(save the file and exit from vi)

  # service sshd restart
