Keypairs

Generate a new keypair

This operation creates a new keypair under a provided name; the public key value is automatically generated for you.

// Instantiate empty object
$keypair = $service->keypair();

// Send to API
$keypair->create(array(
   'name' => 'jamie_keypair_1'
));

// Save these!
$pubKey = $keypair->getPublicKey();
$priKey = $keypair->getPrivateKey();

Upload existing keypair

This operation creates a new keypair according to a provided name and public key value. This is useful when the public key already exists on your local filesystem.

$keypair = $service->keypair();

// $key needs to be the string content of the key file, not the filename
$content = file_get_contents('~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub');

$keypair->create(array(
   'name'      => 'main_key',
   'publicKey' => $content
));
