Debian template console login
-
Anyone know the default console login for the Debian template? The details say user = debian , however I can't login at the console without a password.

@Bane Hello !
Templates are using cloudinit, so you need to add a SSH key at the creation of the VM to be able to login -
I created an SSH key pair with puttygen. When I login with my private key (public key is on the debian VM), I get the messgage "server refused our key."
I used RSA for the key at 2048 bits. Is there something that tells what cipher and bit length to use?

@Bane
Your public ssh key looks like "ssh-rsa AAAA......" ?I don't use puttygen, but is the most common error I encounter at work.
You can try with ed25519 too, it should work too.

@AtaxyaNetwork I got it to work.
Do you know how to enable console login for this debian install?

If you want to login manually without any SSH key, you have to add a password for the account (
passwd
). Then you can log in with your Debian user with this password.
