Different ssh key and ssh key with passphrase

[supercobra]

Is there a way to specify a different ssh key in deploy.yml? Is using a key with password possible? How?

[milushov]

As far as I know, it's not possible right now

SOLUTION credit @huksley

you can use standard way of ${HOME}/.ssh/config to designate key for specific host(s)
e.g.

Host test1
HostName 1.1.1.1
User test1
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa.other

[equivalent]

same answer, just explained for dummies like me :

in ~/.ssh/config

Host 1.22.333.444
  HostName 1.22.333.444
  User root
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/differentSshKey

then

$ ssh 1.22.333.444
👍

also makes scp works nicely
