<p>The registration form for the pubnix can only accept one ssh key. This means that, incase you need another key, or you have a key in a format that isnt supported by the form (anything that isn't rsa/ed25519/ecdsa), you need to input one key in a supported format first, and then modify it later after first login.</p>
<p>If you don't have a key with a format that is supported, go through the <a href="https://wiki.projectsegfau.lt/Generating_an_SSH_key">Generating an SSH key</a> to create a supported one.</p>
<p>After you ssh with the key, run the following</p>
<pre><code class="language-plaintext">$ nano ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
&lt;the ssh key you gave for signup&gt;
&lt;add your new key here&gt;
Control+x</code></pre>
<p>Note: If you have multiple keys, you might need to use the -i flag to specify the right key to use like this:</p>
<pre><code class="language-plaintext">$ ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_keyyougaveforpubnix USERNAME@p.projectsegfau.lt</code></pre>
<p>Additionally, if your key is in the PuTTY format, you need to convert it to the OpenSSH one with PuTTYGen.</p>
