+Generate a long random password with:
+```
+cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9' | fold -w 64 | head -n 1
+```
+
+Replace `very_long_secret` with the long generated password and replace `/opt/.certs/service` with the location for your keys and the name (different name for each key "service")
+Default generally is `~/.ssh/id_rsa`, you can omit `-f "/opt/.certs/service"` if you don't want to choose it.
+```
+ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -f "/opt/.certs/service" -C "Private Key Comment"
+```
