I Made a Great SSH Tutorial Guide
Most of the guides don't cover the reasons why, so the concepts seem foreign and therefore harder. They also leave out critical security steps.
This guide covers:
-Why SSH keys
-How to generate a key & use it
-How to create users with correct access
-How to disable root & passwords
-How to Change the Port
It's a great reference for anyone new to using Linux for a VPS,

With Trezor you can deterministically generate an ssh key and use it to access your VPS without saving sensitive data to your home directory - where it can be easily swept by AI tools
I set up dropbear because my system is full disk encrypted, and I need a way to enter the luks pass key during reboots.
Now I can't SFTP in
Nice! I guess you are covering #OpenSSH.
Viva #BSD

What an awesome resource! Thank you 🙏🏻
Did you try using port 2222?
haha. i'm telling you the easiest way is to create a disk file volume. no need for that other shit, normal SSH.
I don't recall. I'll give that a go.
port forwarding is also very helpful. as well as understanding ~/.ssh/config
Replace rsa with ed25519 as elliptic curve is a way more secure. Ed25519 also offers better performance.
For useradd you can do
useradd -m username - this creates automatically the homedirectory
otherwise good tutorial
Thanks for the tips, appreciated. I'll update it
you're welcome man
