ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa_deploy -N ""

2. Copy the Public Key to the Server

ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa_deploy.pub server-user@server-ip

1. Configure the SSH Client

Host deploy-server
    HostName server-ip
    User server-user
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_deploy
    IdentitiesOnly yes

1. Test the Connection

ssh deploy-server

(Important): Fix permissions (if SSH refuses key)

Run these on your deployment machine:

chmod 700 ~/.ssh
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/deploy_key
chmod 644 ~/.ssh/deploy_key.pub
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/config

⭐ Bonus Point:

Securely copy file/folder from local to server

File copy from local to server:

scp file_name server_name_prod:/path_of_target_directory

// Example
scp index.html server_name1:/var/www/app1

Folder copy from local to server:

scp -r ./dist/* server_name_prod:/path_of_target_directory
