SSH Keys Quickstart
You'll need a SSH key pair to play. If you don't have one, or want to generate a new one just for this competition, you'll need to run a few commands:
- ssh-keygen -t ed25519 - generates a new ed25519 keypair.
- You'll be prompted for a path and filename, along with some other information. Choose something meaningful, like roguelike_contest_key
- At the end you'll have roguelike_contest_key and roguelike_contest_key.pub. The .pub is your public key that you'll upload here.
- Visit gate.io login and submit your public key (.pub) along with your desired username.
- Wait a few minutes for the registration process to run, and then log in with ssh -p 1337 -i roguelike_contest_key your_username@roguery.xibb.net - note that you'll want to supply the key file name WITHOUT .pub, which is the private half!
- Enjoy!
