Can someone please help with a newbie question regarding SSH setup?
I've recently learned that rsync module support is being eliminated from Scale with the Cohiba release. Unfortunately, I currently have eight different rsync module tasks that transfer data between my Truenas Scale server and two different clients, both running Linux Mint. Most are push tasks, but one is pull.
Rather than use a third party app for rsync, I'm considering switching to SSH mode for the tasks.
I'm not well-versed in SSH, but my main question is this: when setting up SSH, should I generate the key pair in Scale, and then manually transfer it (like on a flash drive or over a Samba share) to the client machines running Mint? I think that's the easiest approach, but the other option would, I guess, be to generate the key pairs on the Mint machines and transfer them to Scale.
Any thoughts on this or any other suggestions to get me started in the right direction would he extremely helpful!
