AFAIU, the way things are one has to either use their default identity with a remote ssh repo OR temporarily enable password authentication on the server so that the webapp will generate and install its own key, then turn it off. That is a tall order and might not even be possible if the server is not under the user's control. Am I missing something? + +"""]]
