Run the client in verbose mode first:
ssh -vvv user@host
look for Offering public key: lines. if your key is never offered, teh client isn't using it: pass -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 or set IdentityFile in ~/.ssh/config. If it's offered and rejected, the server side is the problem. lmk how it goes
My key works on every other server. On a new EC2 instance, from a CI job, nothing:
A colleague set up teh account. They swear they pasted my key. I'm starting to suspect the server, but I don't even know where to look.
It's frustrating because I can't see anything on the server side, and the error message is the same for every possible mistake. Is there a way to get more detail from the client at least?
yeah so i was connecting as my own name, but the key was added to teh default cloud user. idk what else to say tbh
