Both servers are working as expected but when we create keys from a client everything is put in the root directory instead of the dietpi home directory. For example, after install we have to create the directory structure .ssh in ~/dietpi.
It is not really a big deal as long as you know to chown and change permissions but was unexpected.
Is this the expected behavior of the dietpi-software install system?
Yes, best to my knowledge, SSH keys specified in dietpi.txt will be created for root user only
Right. It is mainly intended for access on first boot, where your need to login as root user anyway.
Since the dietpi user won’t be pre-existing on DietPi for long, a proper solution would be a login user management script to create a new login user on first boot, assign permissions/groups and SSH keys. But that’s a future plan without ETA.
