Table Plus and Forge

I am trying to get Table Plus connected to my Forge DB. What I cannot figure out are the private keys. I used the string provided in the welcome email. Now Table Plus is asking me to import private keys stored on my computer. Where do I get these keys? All the documentation says is I need keys. All I have received is a public key. What also confuses me is I have GIT, AWS, and Forge. I get confused as to what key belongs to what service. any help would be appreciated.

@shedman the public key is the SSH key from your computer allowing you to connect to the server from your command line.

So on Forge you should select your server and on the side menu, you will see SSH keys go ahead and add your own. To find it on your computer it should be in ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pup if you are on a Mac, so you need to copy the content of that file, and paste it in the TextArea on forge.

Here is how you can setup SSH keys if you haven't done that before: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-ssh-keys-2

Then in your TablePlus you will select your server the username is typically forge and just select your public SSH key from your computer, and you should be good to go.
