devvm ssh-agent add

Load a key into devvm’s own SSH agent

Synopsis

Load a private key into devvm’s own SSH agent, starting the agent first, and record it in ~/.local/share/devvm/agent-keys.json, so devvm loads it again when a VM needs it. devvm refuses a key in a folder a VM mounts.

devvm ssh-agent add KEY_FILE [flags]

Examples

  devvm ssh-agent add ~/.ssh/deploy_key                 # load a key for 12 hours at a time
  devvm ssh-agent add ~/.ssh/deploy_key --lifetime 30m  # for 30 minutes at a time
  devvm ssh-agent add ~/.ssh/deploy_key --confirm       # ask before each use of the key

Options

      --confirm             ask before each use of the key, through an ssh-askpass program
  -h, --help                help for add
      --lifetime DURATION   how long the agent keeps the key once loaded, a DURATION such as 8h, or forever (default 12h)

Options inherited from parent commands

      --no-input   never ask, and fail where devvm would ask, naming the flag that answers it
  -v, --verbose    show the output of the commands devvm runs instead of a status line
