proxmox-generate-ssh-key

Enabled KVM nested capability for hypervisor installs in VMs.

This is a very opinionated and quick SSH Key generation task. It will build ed25519 elyptical curve Public and Private key halves.

The keys will be stored on the the profile specified by the Param proxmox/data-profile.

Once the key is built, the operator can retrieve the Private Key half and use that in their ssh-agent, or as an ssh -i keyfile ... command line argument.

Warning

This task will overwrite the Param values, possibly losing the keys.
