Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` composer require pagemachine/authorized-keys ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) To access the `authorized_keys` file an instance of `Pagemachine\AuthorizedKeys\AuthorizedKeys` must be created, either directly passing the file content to the constructor or using the static `fromFile()` method: ``` $path = '/home/foo/.ssh/authorized_keys'; $authorizedKeys = AuthorizedKeys::fromFile($path); ``` You can easily iterate all keys in the file, comments and empty lines will be skipped: ``` foreach ($authorizedKeys as $key) { // Do something with $key } ``` To add a key, create an instance of `Pagemachine\AuthorizedKeys\PublicKey` and add it to the file: ``` // ... load $authorizedKeys ... $key = new PublicKey('ssh-rsa AAA...'); $authorizedKeys->addKey($key); ``` Notice that each key is only added once, if you add it again, only its options, type and comment are updated accordingly. Thus it's safe to call this method in any case to ensure keys are present. To remove a key, wrap it in `PublicKey` and remove it from the file: ``` // ... load $authorizedKeys ... $key = new PublicKey('ssh-rsa AAA...'); $authorizedKeys->removeKey($key); ``` To close things off, write back the file, comments and empty lines will be left unchanged: ``` $authorizedKeys->toFile($path); ``` The permissions of the file will be changed to 0600, namely readable and writable by the owner but nobody else. Testing ------- [](#testing) All tests can be executed with the shipped Docker Compose definition: ``` docker compose run --rm app composer build ``` ### Health Score 61 — FairBetter than 98% of packages Maintenance87 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity38 Limited adoption so far Community15 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity84 Battle-tested with a long release history Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 94% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio. Uses a 2-year decay window. **Popularity (30%)** — Total and monthly downloads, GitHub stars, and forks. Logarithmic scaling prevents top-heavy scores. **Community (15%)** — Contributors, dependents, forks, watchers, and maintainers. Measures real ecosystem engagement. **Maturity (30%)** — Project age, version count, PHP version support, and release stability. ### Release Activity Cadence Every ~664 days Recently: every ~826 days Total 6 Last Release 110d ago Major Versions 1.0.1 → 2.0.02017-12-19 PHP version history (5 changes)1.0.0PHP ^5.6 || ^7.0 2.0.0PHP ^7.0 2.1.0PHP ^7.3 || ^8.0 2.2.0PHP ^7.4 || ^8.0 2.2.1PHP ^8.2 ### Community Maintainers ![](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/10812548?v=4)[Pagemachine AG](/maintainers/pagemachine)[@pagemachine](https://github.com/pagemachine) --- Top Contributors [![mbrodala](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/5037116?v=4)](https://github.com/mbrodala "mbrodala (221 commits)")[![renovate[bot]](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/in/2740?v=4)](https://github.com/renovate[bot] "renovate[bot] (8 commits)")[![renovate-bot](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/25180681?v=4)](https://github.com/renovate-bot "renovate-bot (3 commits)")[![patrickhilker](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/5042280?v=4)](https://github.com/patrickhilker "patrickhilker (1 commits)")[![sschuett](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1898111?v=4)](https://github.com/sschuett "sschuett (1 commits)")[![vokeit-gschuster](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/56930714?v=4)](https://github.com/vokeit-gschuster "vokeit-gschuster (1 commits)") --- Tags authorized-keysphppublic-keysshsshpublic keyauthorized\_keys ### Code Quality TestsPHPUnit Static AnalysisPHPStan, Rector Code StylePHP CS Fixer Type Coverage Yes ### Embed Badge ![Health badge](/badges/pagemachine-authorized-keys/health.svg) ``` [![Health](https://phpackages.com/badges/pagemachine-authorized-keys/health.svg)](https://phpackages.com/packages/pagemachine-authorized-keys) ``` ### Alternatives [spatie/ssh A lightweight package to execute commands over an SSH connection 8393.1M57](/packages/spatie-ssh)[herzult/php-ssh Provides an object-oriented wrapper for the php ssh2 extension. 3591.2M12](/packages/herzult-php-ssh)[sop/crypto-encoding A PHP implementation of textual encodings of cryptographic structures. 171.5M28](/packages/sop-crypto-encoding)[sop/crypto-types A PHP library of various ASN.1 types for cryptographic applications. 121.4M35](/packages/sop-crypto-types)[codeaken/sshkey Library for working with and generating SSH keys 1261.4k1](/packages/codeaken-sshkey)[yohang/oossh Object Oriented SSH for PHP 363.8k](/packages/yohang-oossh) PHPackages © 2026 [Directory](/)[Categories](/categories)[Trending](/trending)[Changelog](/changelog)[Analyze](/analyze)
