configuring key-only ssh access

[tuxbass]

What's the _unraid way_ of turning on key-only login access to unraid host?

Can see there are some set of keys in /boot/config/ssh but there's no sshd_config found under /boot to enforce their usage. Why are there keys under boot/config/ssh to begin with if they're not used?

 

Just to be clear, the goal is to secure ssh access so no bad actor on LAN can wreak havoc.

Unraid needs a method to configure SSH without needing the old SSH plugin. I also want to see 2FA in SSH.

Have you configured unraid SSH with key-only? If so, could you walk me through?

It should be just like any other SSH config setup. /root/.ssh is a soft link to /boot/config/ssh/root/ .

So inside /boot/config/ssh/root/ , create authorized_keys file via "touch authorized_keys".  Then you can copy and paste your info from you local machine's .ssh/id_rsa.pub key file. Remember to use the PUBLIC key file, not the private.
