I'm not sure you're understanding what I meant when I said "key-authentication" .... You've mentioned a few times in response to that, that you're on a local network.

I'm referring to SSH Keys, so you can quickly authenticate to any of your VMs without a password.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Since this is only local to my private network, I am going to start
over.  I am using virtual box and every time I upgrade I clone the last
successful configuration.  So in the case of a failed issue I can start
over by deleting the current VM and clone the last successful VM and
start over.

I'm also going to uninstall VSC since it has configurations going back
several years.  I have high hopes for VSC....

As for using key-authentication this is all local on a private network
and my domains are all non-routable .internal.

I use the hosts files for DNS.

Wish me luck!!  I may return.
