Install it at first logon from the Win32-OpenSSH zip on the seed ISO via Configure-Windows.ps1 -InstallOpenSSH, replacing the manual 05/06 batch files. The administrator public key now comes from the host (SSH_PUBLIC_KEY_FILE or ~/.ssh/id_*.pub) instead of being hardcoded. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Cloud-init seed images
Each operating system has an independent NoCloud configuration and generated
seed.iso:
seediso/
├── debian13/
├── almalinux10/
├── fedora44/
└── ubuntu2604/
Keeping per-OS metadata separate allows each VM to use a distinct hostname and
cloud-init instance-id. Generated ISO files are ignored by Git and are built
automatically by the corresponding launcher when missing.
