Cookbook Version

ssh_keygen Chef Resource

This single-purpose cookbook provides a resource to create SSH keys, as you
would expect to be created with ssh-keygen.

Usage and Example

Say you wanted to create a user (named after test-kitchen) and create an
SSH key for it:

group 'kitchen' do
  action :create
end

user 'kitchen' do
  action :create
  group 'kitchen'
  home '/home/kitchen'
  manage_home true
end

directory '/home/kitchen/.ssh' do
  action :create
end

ssh_keygen '/home/kitchen/.ssh/id_rsa' do
  action :create
  owner 'kitchen'
  group 'kitchen'
  strength 4096
  type 'rsa'
  comment 'kitchen@localhost'
  passphrase 'changeme'
  secure_directory true
end

The following would (after creating the kitchen user), generate an SSH private
key in /home/kitchen/.ssh/id_rsa, a public key in OpenSSH format in
/home/kitchen/.ssh/id_rsa.pub, and ensure the .ssh directory has secure
permissions as well (so mode 0700).

Attributes

The attributes for the ssh_keygen resource are:

  • action: Only :create is supported.
  • path: The path to save the SSH key to (if different from the resource name).
  • owner: The owner of the private and public key files.
  • group: The group ID for the private and public key files.
  • strength: Only 2048 and 4096 are supported currently, default is 2048.
  • type: Only rsa is supported currently. Ed25519 may be supported in future versions (feature request welcome!)
  • comment: Comment for the public key. Defaults to user@host.
  • passphrase: Passphrase for an encrypted private key. The default is no passphrase.
  • secure_directory: Sets the directory the key is saved in to mode to 0700.
