After the initial installation of a new machine, you often want to login as root via ssh. Therefore it's convenient to provide a ssh public key for a passwordless login.

This can now be done by just adding your user name from salsa.debian.org, gitlab.com or github.com. You can also give a customized URL from where to download the keys. Before it was only possible to use a github account name.

The build service is available on the FAI project website at https://fai-project.org/FAIme
