Connect via SSH with key

[alexborisov]

How can I use key authentication when connecting via ssh?

You have to define it in your ssh config, there is no other way at the moment.

I am dealing with the same problem, where I cannot automate docker deployment on a remote machine using terraform cloud because of this missing feature.

Cheers buddy. I actually found that if I add the key to my ssh agent it works. There's some options mentioned about the agent. Perhaps you can look into that to help solve your problem 🙂

@alexborisov can you point to the resource or give some code sample?

It worked for me to configure the ssh and upload the private key beforehand.
~/.ssh/config

Host server
  HostName 10.10.10.10
  User root

upload primary key to server

ssh-copy-id root@10.10.10.10

main.tf

provider "docker" {
  host = "ssh://server"
}

Relates to / duplicated by #268

@znck PR'd some work to the Docker CLI to help enable this, docker/cli#2541

Presumably if that is merged, it would be possible to add to the Terraform provider?
