How do I set up SSH for Jenkins?

To set up SSH for Jenkins, you'll need to configure the SSH server and Jenkins settings. Do you have SSH installed?

Yes, I have SSH installed. What are the next steps?

Great! First, generate an SSH key pair using ssh-keygen. Then, add the public key to the Jenkins server's authorized_keys.

How do I add the public key to authorized_keys?

You can add the public key by copying it to the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file on the Jenkins server. Use cat your_key.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.

Is there anything else I need to configure?

Yes, ensure that the Jenkins user has the right permissions and that the SSH service is running.
