DigitalOcean is a cloud services provider that is quick to setup and easy to manage. This makes it the perfect choice for giving Ubuntu 17.10 (Artful Aardvark), or any other server distribution of Linux, a quick test drive to see what it looks like. My first thought was to try out the new Gnome based User Interface on Digital Ocean and use Digital Ocean as a platform for testing new distributions. However I found it takes a lot of hackery, too much for comfort, in order to get the remote desktop for Gnome working, so I have delayed the goal of having a fast and remote server for testing new UI features for now and in this demo/tutorial will focus on testing out the server version.
Dec 07, 2019 SSH is short for Secure Shell.Secure Shell is a network protocol that provides administrators with a secure way (with encryption) to access a remote computer. It allows an administrator to log into virtual space server with an SSH key instead of a typical password. This eliminates the usual weakness of cracking passwords since SSHs almost can not be deciphered. Jul 29, 2019 Step 1- Generate the SSH Key Pair. On your client system – the one you’re using to connect to the server – you need to create a pair of key codes. To generate a pair of SSH key codes, enter the commands: This will create a hidden directory to store your SSH keys. Creating a private/public key pair on Ubuntu Last updated: 04 Jun 2012. There are many reasons you might want to create a key pair on Linux, more specifically on Ubuntu. For more information about key pairs, see this. If your server is an Amazon EC2 Server Instance, you might want to. I'm trying to create an ssh key for another user. There may be multiple accounts on multiple systems, not all of them allowing you to generate keys or allowing to protect private keys appropiately. – Gustave Sep 9 '15 at 8:17. Users or user's – User Nov 3 '15 at 1:00 show 1 more comment. There's no user information in the SSH. About a month ago I updated my 16.04 LTS server to 18.04.1 LTS. The upgrade went fine. However, since the upgrade, whenever a user logs in, there is a message displayed in dmesg or on the local con.
Step 1: Create an account and put in your payment information on Digital Ocean
Step 2: Click the big blue button that says Create Droplet as shown below
Step 3: Choose your OS distribution from the list of available choices as shown below. I chose Ubuntu 17.10, as that was my goal to test it out. But you can see a decent variety of choices ranging from Ubuntu, FreeBSD, Fedora, Debian, CoreOS and CentOS. You can even pick from different version numbers of these distributions in a simple click.
Step 4: Choose how much power you want for your OS instance, and the price you are going to pay for it. In this case I gave the 2 CPU, 2GB RAM instance type a test drive at a price of 3 cents an hour. Given my test run was less then an hour, 3 cents is a more than a fair process for the service provided.
Step 5: Choose the geography region to run your instance, based on a located nearby you. /monster-hunter-generations-3-star-key-quests.html.
Step 6: Configure the SSH Key that will be used to access the server. Here is a good tutorial if you need help with that part. Be sure to make the file 600 permissions after putting it into the .ssh directory on your system.
Step 7: Watch the instance creation status and wait for it to complete. In my test, it took about 1 minute for the instance to be created. Capture the IP address and you can edit to your /etc/hosts file (using sudo) to make an easy alias on your system to access the server.

Step 8: Log onto the server with this command below, here is the output I received on successful ssh into the server:
Success, you have logged into the system now and are free to use it as you see please. The first thing I did was a system update using apt-get update and then I did a test of installing a package (g++ compiler) using the command apt-get install g++. The great thing is you are on the DigitalOcean network, so no need to download the entire distribution ISO to your personal computer at home or in the office. The packages are all staged on their network and lightening fast to download. So the update and g++ compiler installation took less than 2 minutes on this instance.

Summary
Generate Ssh Key Ubuntu 17.10 Update
- Digital Ocean is a cost effect and easy way to provision and install a test instance of a new distribution
- A wide variety of OS’s are pre-packaged and maintained making for easy and fast access
- Testing GUI’s on this platform is possible, there are a number of articles showing how, but from my experience, not really a good option
- Testing a new distribution on DigitalOcean is MUCH faster and easier than trying to use a Local VM. So much faster!
