Adding a deploy user in Linux

(wherever it says url.com, use your server's domain or IP)

Login to new server as root, then add a deploy user

sudo useradd --create-home -s /bin/bash deploy
sudo adduser deploy sudo
sudo passwd deploy

And Update the new password

Now login as that user

Make directory .ssh on the remote server and log out

mkdir .ssh
exit

Push your ssh key to the authorized_keys file on the remote server

scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub [email protected]:~/.ssh/authorized_keys
