This is particularly useful if cloning VM's or using a VM template. I have modified the following using CentOS 7's .service file. /lib/systemd/system/ssh-keygen.service : [Unit] Description=OpenSSH Server Key Generation ConditionFileNotEmpty=|!/etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key ConditionFileNotEmpty=|!/etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key ConditionFileNotEmpty=|!/etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key PartOf=ssh.service sshd.socket [Service] ExecStart=/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server Type=oneshot RemainAfterExit=yes And added the following to ssh.service. /lib/systemd/system/ssh.service : [Unit] ... After=network.target ssh-keygen.service ... Wants=ssh-keygen.service ... I have tested this and it is working.
