I am trying to setup an ssh connection to a docker using ssh keys, i have used ssh_keygen and copied the .pub file to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys in the container, however i get the following error on connection
[email protected]: Permission denied (publickey).
I have done this following the ssh manual page so I struggle to understand why my keys wont pass.
Container side my home is set as /root, which is why I put it in the /root/.ssh/authorize_keys folder.
I also modified the sshd_config file following options:
PermitRootLogin yes
PasswordAuthentication no
PermitEmptyPasswords no
I had tried setting PermitEmptyPasswords and PasswordAuthentication to yes but would still be refused login if i just gave an empty string as password.
What am i missing here?
