[Feature Request]: Allow sharing keys between hosts #158

Open

Description

@kraftnix

Currently a key (or keys) must be added to each new machine whenever a machine is added.

Most of the time (especially with hardware backed keys), you will want to use the same private keys across many machines.

It would be great to have a shared pool of already added keys that you can select per-machine. It would make adding hosts much more streamlined + adding a new key to many hosts easier.

Currently using duplicate can get you somewhat there, but if you need to add a new key to many existing hosts it can be very reptitive to select a keyfile for each.

    This seem like it leads to identity definitions in app, so having the option to define and reuse identities (username + key) and attach that to machines, that way updating the one identity (key rollover for example) will automatically apply to all machines using it.
