Setting up an [SSH](https://openssh.org/) server allows access to your Hass.io folders with any SSH client. It also includes a command-line tool to access the [Hass.io API](https://github.com/home-assistant/hassio/blob/dev/API.md). Try it out:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ hassio help
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<p class='note'>
|
|
This add-on will not enable you to install packages or do anything as root. This is not allowed with Hass.io.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
To use this add-on, you must have a private/public key to log in. To generate them, follow the [instructions for Windows][win] and [these for other platforms][other]. It is possible to set a password for login since version 2.0 but for high security use private/public keys. You can not run both variant at same time.
|
|
|
|
In order to start this add-on for the first time, you either need to include an ssh key (enclosed in quotation marks) or set a password in the options section.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"authorized_keys": [
|
|
"ssh-rsa AKDJD3839...== my-key"
|
|
],
|
|
"password": ""
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The username for login over ssh is `root`.
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
|
|
- **authorized_keys** (*Optional*): Your public-keys for authorized keyfile. Every element will be a line inside that file.
|
|
- **password** (*Optional*): Set a password for login. We do not recommend this variant.
