Digital oceans create new user ssh

To create a new user and set up SSH access on a DigitalOcean droplet, you can follow these steps:

Step 1: Log in to your DigitalOcean account and access your droplet

Step 2: Create a new user

Once you're logged in, you can create a new user using the adduser command:
```
sudo adduser newuser
```
Replace newuser with the desired username.

Step 3: Set a password for the new user

Set a password for the new user using the passwd command:
```
sudo passwd newuser
```
Follow the prompts to set a password for the new user.

Step 4: Add the new user to the sudo group

To give the new user sudo privileges, add them to the sudo group:
```
sudo usermod -aG sudo newuser
```
Step 5: Create a new SSH key for the new user
To set up SSH access for the new user, you'll need to create a new SSH key pair. You can do this using the ssh-keygen command:
```
sudo ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "[email protected]"
```
Replace [email protected] with the email address you want to associate with the new user.

Step 6: Copy the public SSH key to the new user's home directory

Copy the public SSH key to the new user's home directory:
```
sudo cp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub /home/newuser/.ssh/authorized_keys
```
Step 7: Change the ownership of the authorized_keys file
Change the ownership of the authorized_keys file to the new user:
```
sudo chown newuser:newuser /home/newuser/.ssh/authorized_keys
```
Step 8: Test SSH access with the new user
Try connecting to your droplet using SSH with the new user:
```
ssh newuser@your-droplet-ip
```
Replace your-droplet-ip with the IP address of your DigitalOcean droplet.

That's it! You should now be able to log in to your DigitalOcean droplet using the new user's credentials.
