# SSH access
|
||||
|
||||
How to reach every host in the fleet from any workstation, with LAN as
|
||||
the primary path and Netbird as the automatic backup.
|
||||
|
||||
## Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
SSH access relies on three layers:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Homelab inventory (`inventory.yaml`)** — the single source of truth
|
||||
for every host's LAN IP, Netbird addresses, SSH user, and port.
|
||||
2. **Key distribution (`ssh/deploy-keys.sh`)** — deploys workstation SSH
|
||||
public keys to hubris and every running LXC, so any key-authorized
|
||||
workstation can log in anywhere.
|
||||
3. **Config generation (`homelab ssh-config --install`)** — generates
|
||||
`~/.ssh/config.d/homelab` with short hostname aliases for every host,
|
||||
using LAN IPs (routed via Netbird's `192.168.8.0/24` subnet route when
|
||||
off-LAN) with Netbird FQDN fallbacks (`<name>-mesh`) for roaming
|
||||
workstations.
|
||||
|
||||
### How it works
|
||||
|
||||
- **From on-LAN:** `ssh gitea` resolves to `192.168.8.121` directly.
|
||||
- **From off-LAN (Netbird):** The same `192.168.8.121` works because
|
||||
hubris routes the `192.168.8.0/24` subnet through Netbird.
|
||||
- **Roaming workstations:** `ssh mac-mini-mesh` or `ssh republic-laptop-mesh`
|
||||
uses the Netbird FQDN as a fallback when the workstation is off its
|
||||
home subnet.
|
||||
|
||||
The `homelab ssh <host>` CLI command also has built-in LAN probing:
|
||||
it tries a 1.5s TCP connect to the LAN IP, and if that fails, falls
|
||||
back to the Netbird FQDN.
|
||||
|
||||
## Key distribution
|
||||
|
||||
Each workstation's SSH public key lives in the repo at:
|
||||
`ssh/authorized_keys/<hostname>.pub`
|
||||
|
||||
To deploy or re-deploy all workstation keys to hubris + every running LXC:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# From hubris (or via homelab pct):
|
||||
sudo bash /opt/homelab-context/ssh/deploy-keys.sh
|
||||
|
||||
# Or from any workstation:
|
||||
ssh root@192.168.8.77 "bash /opt/homelab-context/ssh/deploy-keys.sh"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This script:
|
||||
- Reads all `.pub` files from `ssh/authorized_keys/`
|
||||
- Adds any missing keys to `/etc/pve/priv/authorized_keys` on hubris
|
||||
- For each running LXC, appends keys to `/root/.ssh/authorized_keys`
|
||||
- Is idempotent — skips keys already present
|
||||
|
||||
## Config generation
|
||||
|
||||
To generate the SSH config on any workstation:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
homelab ssh-config --install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This writes to `~/.ssh/config.d/homelab` and ensures
|
||||
`Include ~/.ssh/config.d/homelab` is present in `~/.ssh/config`.
|
||||
|
||||
The config is regenerated automatically on every `homelab sync` (which
|
||||
kicks the 5-minute context sync timer).
|
||||
|
||||
## Adding a new workstation
|
||||
|
||||
When onboarding a new machine:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Hostname must match an entry in `inventory.yaml`.
|
||||
2. If the workstation will be on the LAN, add its `lan_ip` to
|
||||
`inventory.yaml` and push. This gives it a primary LAN entry in the
|
||||
generated SSH config.
|
||||
3. Enable SSH Remote Login:
|
||||
- **macOS:** `sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ssh.plist`
|
||||
- **Linux:** `sudo systemctl enable --now sshd`
|
||||
4. Generate an SSH keypair if one doesn't exist:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -a 100
|
||||
```
|
||||
5. Publish the public key to the repo:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cp ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub /opt/homelab-context/ssh/authorized_keys/<hostname>.pub
|
||||
cd /opt/homelab-context && git add ssh/authorized_keys/ && git commit -m 'ssh: add <hostname> pubkey' && git push
|
||||
```
|
||||
6. Deploy the key to all hosts:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ssh root@192.168.8.77 "cd /opt/homelab-context && git pull --ff-only && bash ssh/deploy-keys.sh"
|
||||
```
|
||||
7. Generate the local SSH config:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
homelab ssh-config --install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Hosts
|
||||
|
||||
### Hubris + strong (PVE cluster: `Homelab`)
|
||||
|
||||
Both nodes share `/etc/pve/priv/authorized_keys` — it's Proxmox
|
||||
cluster-synced, so a key added on either node is authorized on both.
|
||||
|
||||
| Detail | hubris | strong |
|
||||
|--------|--------|-----------|
|
||||
| LAN IP | `192.168.8.77` | `192.168.178.181` |
|
||||
| Cluster node name | `hubris` | `strong` (OS hostname kept as-is from install) |
|
||||
| Netbird | `100.122.38.109` (`proxmox-server.netbird.selfhosted`) | not enrolled yet |
|
||||
| Netbird SSH port | `22022` (mesh-only, OIDC auth) | n/a |
|
||||
| SSH user | `root` | `root` |
|
||||
|
||||
Authorized root keys currently deployed (cluster-wide):
|
||||
- `root@hubris` (self, RSA)
|
||||
- `d.toro.v@pm.me` (ed25519) — mac-mini
|
||||
- `root@strong` (RSA) — strong's own key, added 2026-07-01 for the cluster join
|
||||
|
||||
### LXCs
|
||||
|
||||
Every LXC at `192.168.8.x` accepts root SSH via authorized_keys. Keys
|
||||
are managed by `ssh/deploy-keys.sh`. SSH user is `root`.
|
||||
|
||||
| LXC | Name | LAN IP | Role |

|
||||

### Workstations
|
||||
|
||||
| Name | OS | LAN IP | Netbird FQDN | SSH user |
|
||||
|------|----|--------|--------------|----------|
|

|
||||
| republic-laptop | Linux | TBD | `republic-laptop.netbird.selfhosted` | `dtoro` |
|
||||
|
||||
strong moved out of this table 2026-07-01 — it's a Proxmox host now, see the cluster table above.
|
||||
|
||||
### VPS (external)
|
||||
|
||||
| Detail | Value |
|
||||
|--------|-------|
|
||||
| Public IP | `82.165.190.79` |
|
||||
| Netbird | `100.122.165.149` (FQDN: `netbird-ionos.netbird.selfhosted`) |
|
||||
| SSH user | `root` |
|
||||
| Access | Mesh-only — public port 22 is blocked by nftables. Key-only auth. |
|
||||
|
||||
## VPS
|
||||
|
||||
Access is mesh-only. From a mesh-connected peer:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ssh root@100.122.165.149
|
||||
ssh root@netbird-ionos.netbird.selfhosted
|
||||
# or via homelab:
|
||||
homelab ssh netbird-vps
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Verification
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# From any workstation after running homelab ssh-config --install:
|
||||
for name in hubris gitea apps sophia paperless caddy jellyfin nextcloud; do
|
||||
ssh -o BatchMode=yes "$name" "hostname" && echo "$name OK"
|
||||
done
|
||||
```

## Changelog
|
||||
|
||||
### 2026-07-01 — strong reformatted to Proxmox, joined cluster; table corrected
|
||||
strong moved from the Workstations table to the PVE-cluster table (was showing a stale `192.168.8.133`, never actually reachable — the real LAN IP has always been `192.168.178.181`, matching hosts/strong.yaml). Root key access bootstrapped via one-time console password, then key-only going forward. See [hosts/hubris.md#cluster](../hosts/hubris.md#cluster) and [hosts/strong.md](../hosts/strong.md).
|
||||
|
||||
### 2026-06-02 — universal SSH reachability
|
||||
|
||||
Replaced ad-hoc per-workstation SSH configs with inventory-generated
|
||||
configs (`ssh/gen-config.py`, `homelab ssh-config`). Added centralized
|
||||
key distribution (`ssh/deploy-keys.sh`, `ssh/authorized_keys/`). All
|
||||
LXCs now accept root SSH from any workstation whose pubkey is in the
|
||||
repo. mac-mini Remote Login enabled. Netbird subnet route
|
||||
(192.168.8.0/24 via hubris) provides off-LAN reachability for all LAN
|
||||
IPs.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2026-04-28 — wiki entry created
|
||||
Initial documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2026-04-23 — VPS SSH hardened to mesh-only
|
||||
Public `:22` blocked at nftables. Key-only sshd.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2026-04-22 — iMac key authorized on hubris
|
||||
`d.toro.v@pm.me` added to `/etc/pve/priv/authorized_keys`.
