Quickstart

1. Create a SSH key pair on your local machine
2. Login via ssh using your username and designated password
3. Add your public SSH-Keys to the V-Servers authorized_keys with the following command:
   1. ssh-copy-id -i $HOME/.ssh/your-public-key.pub <user>@123.4.5.255
4. Logout from Server, try logging in with the KEY information only -> ssh -i <path/to/key> user@host
   1. You should not be prompted for a password if it works correctly
5. Log in to the V-Server again
6. Disable Password-Login
7. Disable Root-Login
