"SSH Key failed to be created" about streisand HOT 9 CLOSED

This appears to be a new API change that DigitalOcean made today where they no longer allow you to have two SSH keys with the same contents under the same account. So you can't have a 'Josh' SSH key and a 'streisand' SSH key that are identical anymore. This was working perfectly when I did a test run last night. The workaround for now would be to remove the other matching key before executing the script so that Streisand can create one through the API.

I will come up with a better solution.

OK, that should take care of it. Give it a shot and let me know if it works for you. Thanks for reporting the problem!

Well, it didn't end up working because I already had my id_rsa.pub uploaded. I deleted it from DO and once Streisand finished setting up, renamed it back to what I had named it before. I think it would be helpful to let us generate a new SSH key with its own name that gets uploaded to remove that confusion. Thanks though!

streisand asks for a name to be given for the key which defaults to streisand. So when you already have a key in ~/.ssh you can name it whatever you want during the setup and/or match it to the corresponding name you set at DO in the first place. streisand checks if the ssh key is already present at DO. If it finds the same key with the matching name, streisand should proceed without complaints. This is what I have experienced.

Ahh. I guess the instructions were just a bit confusing. I didn't realize they were talking about the name assigned to the SSH Key on digital ocean itself; I thought it meant the filename of the key locally.

The default name streisand is a bit to short for acting as file path/name, don't you think? ;) But it first came to my mind too when I saw the added streisand key in DO.

Could've been short-hand for ~/.ssh/streisand ;)

Anyway, working fine now.

@davidcelis I just pushed an update to the way that prompt was phrased that should hopefully make it less confusing. Let me know if you have any other suggestions. I would like to make this as seamless as possible and I really appreciate your feedback.

from streisand.

Yeah, that current prompt is good! Thanks @jlund! 👍
