   Use the Raspberry Pi Imager, it is good. That allows you to do some boot   
   provisioning, this is a more up to date version of the ssh file in boot.   
   I think there is a .yml provisioning file, but I get confused between   
   different OSes.   
      
   The other way is to use a .ssh/authorized_keys file, with an appropriate   
   key set up on the machine you are coming from.
