SSH Key Management

Boltarr can keep a small inventory of SSH public keys and which hosts they should have access to, then hand you a ready-to-deploy authorized_keys file per host. It's a convenience/record-keeping tool — Boltarr doesn't connect to your hosts.

Store keys

The SSH Keys tab lets you add public keys (name + the ssh-… public key). Boltarr records a fingerprint for each.

Grant access

For a given host, assign which keys should be allowed and under which username (default root). Boltarr tracks these mappings.

Deploy

For any host, Boltarr can produce the authorized_keys content for a user — the assigned public keys, one per line, ready to drop into ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on that machine. You copy/deploy it yourself (via your own SSH/config-management), so Boltarr never needs credentials to your hosts.

Only public keys are stored — never private keys.
