Hi everyone!

I just finished setting up a Minecraft Ubuntu Server, but want to make sure it's secure. I added a whitelist/enforced, made sure the server was online (the auth option), changed the default port, and am using play it.gg instead of a port. Here's my two issues:


  1. How do I set up a key for SSH on my Windows 11 computer communicating with it? I currently use a password for SSH and have heard that's malpractice.


  2. I installed/set up everything on a Root Account (stupid move, I know). How do I move things to a secondary more secure port? As a note, I set up the server to use AMP and Webmin to monitor thimgs, how can I prevent any issues when moving things to a new user account?

EDIT: I might not have set things up on a Root Account! When in SSH, my command line ends in a $ instead of a #, does that mean I'm using a standard user account?

Thank you for your help!
