WWCTL(1)

📦 version 4.7.1, in opensuse-leap 16.0

🦋 WWCTL(1) — the wwctl configure ssh page 🦋

okay so bestie, you found the WWCTL(1) manual page, and specifically the ssh corner of it. welcome, sit down, hydrate, this one's short and sweet 💖

✨ NAME ✨

wwctl-configure-ssh — literally just: manage and initialize SSH. that's the whole vibe 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

wwctl configure ssh [OPTIONS]

that's it. that's the whole invocation. so clean ✨

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea 🍓 — SSH is an optionally dependent service for Warewulf. key word: optional. key word: dependent. both. yes. slay.

this tool will automatically set up the ssh keys for your nodes, and it does it using the default system overlay — plus any user owned keys you've got kicking around. so like, it's doing the boring key-bootstrap thing so you don't have to, and it's pulling from both places. no cap, that's a lot of work it's just doing for you 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -h, --help[=false] — help for ssh. the classic "what does this even do" button, defaults to false of course 🙈
  • -t, --keytypes=[] — ssh key types to be created. default is [] (aka empty, aka nothing picked yet) — you tell it which key types you want and it makes them, iconic behavior honestly 👑

💜 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 💜

these aren't even this command's own flags, they're inherited from the parent command, and they still work here because family 🫶

  • -d, --debug[=false] — Run with debugging messages enabled. defaults to false, flip it when you want all the receipts 🔍
  • -v, --verbose[=false] — Run with increased verbosity. also defaults to false. more words, more info, more everything 🗣️
  • --warewulfconf="" — Set the warewulf configuration file. default is "", so you point it at whatever conf you want it to read 🧚

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

  • wwctl-configure(1) — the parent command, the main character, go read that one too 💖

⭐ HISTORY ⭐

16-Sep-2026 — Auto generated by spf13/cobra. so nobody hand-wrote this, a robot did, and honestly? it ate 🔥

lowkey reminder bestie: --help and --debug and --verbose all default to false, and --keytypes defaults to [] — so if you don't pass anything, you get the defaults, and the defaults are very "i didn't ask for anything" 💀

and that's the page!! go forth and configure those ssh keys, you absolute icon 🌸💅

this lil number was Auto generated by spf13/cobra back in Sep 2026 — and it's the WWCTL(1) page, so you always know where you are 🎀
