## Generate a key

We recommend Ed25519 keys:

```bash
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "you@company.com"
```

Upload the public key under **Account → SSH keys**. It will be injected into every new server.

## Connect

```bash
ssh root@203.0.113.24
```

Password login is disabled by default on all images.

## Lost access?

Open **Server → Rescue**. The server reboots into a live system where you can mount the disk and repair `authorized_keys`.
