 A compute node is a KVM host the panel manages over libvirt.

 2. For SSH connections, give the user the panel runs as an SSH key and copy it to the compute node. **Use only the block for your installation type:** a key set up with the host commands is not seen by the panel in Docker. `ssh-copy-id` asks for the compute node's root password once. `accept-new` accepts a new host's key on first connect and refuses a changed one.
