Solved SSH to AWS Marketplace Cloudron

[Clipper]

Hi,

I installed Cloudron on AWS from the marketplace so I obviously never logged in on the server itself.

I need to follow instructions of https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/synapse/ which require SSH to my cloudron. I enabled SSH from the portal console but then... how do I login ? the sshd seems to only accept keys and obviously mine aren't there

Thanks

I never used AWS but with big cloud providers it should be possible to add your ssh-key to the account, if that makes sense?

I am of no much help here, but I can provide two URLs I just found about your problem.

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/opsworks/latest/userguide/security-ssh-access.html

This one could be it?
https://aws.amazon.com/de/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/user-data-replace-key-pair-ec2/

That's quite funny. I didn't remember at all that during the creation of (my very first) EC2 server, I got prompted to very carefully save a private key as it would be the very last time I would see it. Your links rang a bell and indeed I saved that private key without really knowing it was for SSH

I'm in !

Thanks

Oh that is nice to hear I did not expect to fix your issue with these 2 URLs.

But hey! Nice to hear.
Can you mark your topic as solved?

btw: if you don't know how, there is a button below your post, which says something like "Ask a question" and after that the topic will be marked as unsolved and after THAT you can mark it solved

@BrutalBirdie I thought of marking as solved but did not find the button. Now I understand why, it's buried somewhere
