    So are you a password or SSH key log in person? Or both?

    I usually use either or both depending on the server :D

    Both depend on the use of the server.

    Ssh key initially.

    Then using tailscale post install.

    Tailscale so I can close off port, or skip the bastion/knocking dance. Phone becomes emergency terminal etc.

    For the last 4 new servers I've setup (All Black Friday offer from OVH :D).

    root > key only
    custom sudo user > password

    All with: ufw limit ssh
