Copy SSH keys to passwordless users via another user

I like to use passwordless users on a server as a means of isolation. ssh-copy-id only works if you have a password. This logs in with another user and copy's the ID.

Warning: this is vibe coded. It will likely become less so if I improve it.

Installation

You can install this with pipx;

pipx install ssh-copy-id-via

Usage

This command will log in to server using user and then user it to allow you to login to ssh-user@server.

ssh-copy-id-via user@server ssh-user
