Task #46: Server-to-Server SSH Key Setup

Time Estimate: 1-2 hours

Documentation: docs/tasks/ (see operations manual)

Time: 1-2 hours
Status: IDENTIFIED - Ready to build
Priority: Tier 1 - Security Foundation
Documentation: docs/tasks/server-ssh-interconnect/

Enable passwordless SSH between all management servers (Command Center, Billing, Panel, Ghost).

Problem: Aurora couldn't SSH from Command Center to Billing - key named 'chronicler' instead of standard 'id_rsa'.

Solution:

Collect public keys from all 4 management servers
Add each server's public key to all other servers' authorized_keys
Test connectivity matrix (4x4 grid)
Document key locations and naming

Servers to interconnect:

Command Center (63.143.34.217)
Billing VPS (38.68.14.188)
Panel VPS (45.94.168.138)
Ghost VPS (64.50.188.14)

Benefits: No more switching in MobaXterm, easier automation, cleaner workflows

Note: Billing has non-standard key name 'chronicler' - may need renaming to 'id_rsa'

This issue is being closed as part of the task system migration on April 1, 2026.

Why: The Gitea Issues + Kanban approach proved too heavyweight for daily operations and lacked accessibility for non-technical team members (Meg, Holly).

New System:

BLOCKERS.md - Critical soft launch tasks
BACKLOG.md - Future work organized by theme
Trinity Console v2 Task Module (planned) - Web-based task management

Archive: All issues preserved in docs/archive/gitea-issues-archive-2026-04-01.md
