@zeus thanks for the elaboration. There was a massive misunderstanding on my side. The requirements explicitly mention key-based ssh account. My misunderstanding was based on the fact the the script first asks for the ssh password (not the key password!) does some checks and then fails.

@tudbut don't tell me that, tell @delta to change the docs. I'm just following the steps 🤖

But yes, the remarks don't help.

@delta cheers. I just added a public key to the server to avoid further headaches.

Edit: to clarify: there were no public keys involved. SSH password authentication for root. The script asked me the password and then fails because further on it expected public key authentication and doesn't find any matching keys.

I would mention this explicitly in the docs as a requirement. An option to run locally in the server would also be really appreciated.
