Thanks @George , I will give it a try later when my massive headache :grinning: clears Would it be possible to add some sort of keys backup into Wappler in future so if needing to rebuild (or change) a system the keys could be restored automatically? I am sure this will happen to many others at som…

Well there is a tool for this: https://medium.com/@cweinberger/docker-machine-export-and-import-34ae2899e9d7 but we will see if we can integrate it more in the Wappler workflow

At stage, adding SSH key: I have generated RSA private and public keys with Puttygen but the private key is nothing like that shown in the guide: PuTTY-User-Key-File-3: ssh-rsa Encryption: none Comment: rsa-key-20210518 Public-Lines: 6 AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQC3WnNkZ1vj5qXfhbReFIZyvGQuG6ln82…
