SSH Config
When postmarketOS is reinstalled, a new ssh host key will be generated. Your SSH client will detect this, and refuse to connect, requiring you to run ssh-keygen -R 172.16.42.1
each time a new host key is generated.
To disable this check, and to allow you to connect by running ssh postmarketos
, add the following to your ~/.ssh/config
:
Host postmarketos HostName 172.16.42.1 StrictHostKeyChecking no UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null
Warning: Ignoring host keys could leave you vulnerable to a Man-in-the-middle attack |
