Is it possible to add a pub key in ed25519 form?
Hi My main ssh key uses ed25519. As a newcomer I tried to add it via the vpsAdmin menu Members "Add public key", but only got the error
Failed to save public key
Error message: create failed
key: invalid public key
Adding an ssh-rsa key worked fine. Or are there good reasons to forbit ed25519 keys? Best regards Niklaus

I just tried it and it works for me. I would have to see the key that you're trying to add to know what's going on. You can send it to me directly. The expected format is e.g.: ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIOhgylTVZ+6tqVlxGuHs12aioSTLmH2hzl5KBskpBmk4 aither@orion (on a single line, the comment is optional) Jakub

I have my ed25519 added for a long time, it works. vpsadmin has no problem with that. https://imgur.com/c0ytEnk.png Maybe try to add it without comment? comment is in the third column, columns divided by whitespace.
