SSH Setup for Deployment

Issue: SSH Authentication Required

The deployment script requires SSH access to the Proxmox host. You have two options:

Option 1: SSH Key Authentication (Recommended)

Set up SSH key to avoid password prompts:

# Generate SSH key if you don't have one
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "proxmox-deployment"

# Copy key to Proxmox host
ssh-copy-id root@192.168.11.10

# Test connection (should not prompt for password)
ssh root@192.168.11.10 "echo 'SSH key working'"

Option 2: Password Authentication

If you prefer to use password:

The script will prompt for password when needed
You'll need to enter it for:
- scp (copying files)
- ssh (running deployment)

Note: Password prompts may appear multiple times.

Quick Setup SSH Key

# One-liner to set up SSH key
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_proxmox -N "" && \
ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_proxmox root@192.168.11.10

Then add to your SSH config:

cat >> ~/.ssh/config << EOF
Host ml110
    HostName 192.168.11.10
    User root
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_proxmox
EOF

Then you can use:

ssh ml110

Troubleshooting

"Permission denied (publickey,password)"

Check if password is correct
Set up SSH key (Option 1 above)
Verify SSH service is running on Proxmox host

"Host key verification failed"

Already fixed in the script
Script automatically handles host key changes

"Connection refused"

Check if SSH service is running: systemctl status ssh (on Proxmox host)
Verify firewall allows SSH (port 22)
Check network connectivity: ping 192.168.11.10

After SSH Key Setup

Once SSH key is configured, the deployment script will run without password prompts:

./scripts/deploy-to-proxmox-host.sh
