Adding a deploy user in Linux with some less headache goodies (not typing or using password)

Raw

sudo useradd --create-home deploy
sudo adduser deploy sudo
sudo passwd deploy

Update the password, then Change the new users default to bash by adding /bin/bash to the end of the last line of /etc/passwd

sudo vim /etc/passwd

Now login as that user

ssh [email protected]

Make directory .ssh on the remote server

mkdir .ssh
exit

And add your ssh key to authorized keys

scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub [email protected]:~/.ssh/authorized_keys
