Should be private ssh key and public ip address. public key can be derived if necessary and it does you no good to have a key to an unknown door
If you only know private key and not public key then isn't it the same as only knowing public key? I thought those were interchangeable
You can derive the public key from the private key
How? Can you give me the commands I've seen it mentioned here a few times I want to try it.
ssh-keygen (1)
I thought that too but they are not. I discovered that recently learning and configuring wireguard.
