# Packer SSH key plugin

Packer plugin used to generate SSH keys.

For the full list of available features for this plugin see [documentation](https://www.packer.io/docs/datasources/sshkey).

Packer 1.7.3 or later is required.

## Usage example

```hcl

packer {

  required_plugins {

    sshkey = {

      version = ">= 1.1.0"

      source = "github.com/ivoronin/sshkey"

    }

  }

}

variables {

  temporary_key_pair_name = "my_temp_key"

}

data "sshkey" "install" {

  name = var.temporary_key_pair_name

}

source "qemu" "install" {

  ssh_username              = "root"

  ssh_private_key_file      = data.sshkey.install.private_key_path

  ssh_clear_authorized_keys = true

  temporary_key_pair_name   = var.temporary_key_pair_name

  http_content = {

    "/preseed.cfg" = templatefile("preseed.cfg.pkrtpl", {

        "ssh_public_key" : data.sshkey.install.public_key

    })

  }

  <...>

}

build {

  sources = ["source.qemu.install"]

}

```

Starting from version 1.7, Packer supports a new `packer init` command allowing

automatic installation of Packer plugins. Read the

[Packer documentation](https://www.packer.io/docs/commands/init) for more information.

> [!NOTE]

> Packer 1.8.5 has a [-evaluate-datasources](https://developer.hashicorp.com/packer/docs/commands/validate#evaluate-datasources) option which solves the `ssh_private_key_file is invalid` issue. Run: `packer validate test.pkr.hcl -evaluate-datasources`
