GenSSH Configuration

GenSSH service provides SSH access directly to an application's docker container to the end user

The SSH command will be automatically returned to the user on application creation provided the node where the application is deployed has the GenSSH service deployed

The following section deals with the configuration of GenSSH

############################
#   GenSSH Configuration   #
############################

[services.genssh]
deploy = false   # Deploy GenSSH?
port = 2222

# Location of Private Key for creating the SSH Signer.
host_signers = ["/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa"]
using_passphrase = false   # Private Key is passphrase protected?
passphrase = ""   # Passphrase (if any) for decrypting the Private Key

# IP address to establish a SSH connection to.
# Equal to the current node's IP address if left blank.
# This field is only for information of the client who will create applications
# and this field's value will not affect GenSSH's functioning in any manner.
# To be used when the current node is only accessible by a jump host or
# behind some network forwarding rule or proxy setup.
entrypoint_ip = ""

The host_signers field stores the location of your private key

Note

If your private key is passphrase protected then set the using_passphrase field to true and insert your passphrase as the value of the passphrase field

Info

The password required for SSH access is provided by the user during application creation

Compatibility Issues

GenSSH 🗿 is not compatible with Windows, hence its deployment will be skipped on Windows systems
