What can i do to enable/use SSH on my NextcloudPi?
[Edit]
I found a micro-HDMI-cable and tried to log in directly, even that did not work. The output I get after logging in is - just like when connecting via SSH:
This account is currently not available.
However the login attempts (both direct and SSH) seem to count as logins, the “last login” counts them.
What do you exactly mean be “to use the ncp user”, @theCalcaholic? How does this help me to access SSH? I actually tried to connect via ssh ncp@my.local.ip.adress but it gives me the same error message… and unfortunately I dont have another LINUX system via which I could edit the file mentioned by @haukew…
@Nils_Seegerer@haukew@Pico A fix is now in master. If you run a update via the web UI and then reapply the SSH settings, you should be able to access your instance via ssh.
There’ll soon be a new release with the fix as well.
I have a new version of: NextCloudPi v1.51.0 is up to date
I’ve tried to set up ssh for pi user. I got error: ‘pi user does not exists’.
I’ve tried to set up ssh for ncp user. It was OK, but after first login to ssh and password change I cannot log in anymore:
Last login: Wed Jan 25 07:20:48 2023 from 192.168.12.104
Could not chdir to home directory /nonexistent: No such file or directory
This account is currently not available.
Connection to 192.168.12.109 closed.
I’ve exactly the same issue.
Setting up ssh for rootisn’t allowed, because insecure.
Setting up ssh for pigives error user does not exists. Trying other / normal usernames gives also this error.
I succeeded also to set up ssh for ncp, when ssh into it, change of password, but afterwards same issue.
oh yes, cutting access to root is a great idea. Mainly when the activation of ssh for root don’t work because of moving shell from /bin/bash to /sbin/nologin.
If you don’t want to let access to root by ssh, a better way is to change the permissions for root on ssh. with /sbin/nologin in case of crash you neither can’t access to the console.
You can’t add disks to the system in cas of lack of space for exemple. Great idea !
I’m not a develloper, but an administrator.
Disabling root with /sbin/nologin is a nonsense since you no longer can access your system as root.
Connecting with another user don’t let you do some admin work. even sudoing don’t work. you should change the sshd_config from this “#PermitRootLogin yes”
to “PermitRootLogin no” or better “PermitRootLogin prohibit-password”.
Disabling root the way you did don’t let administrators to do theyre job. And in case of crash, you have no more solution because you can’t access console either.
I tried to give ssh access to root via the webui. it don’t work.
Luckily, I didn’t try to install nexcloud with another application already in production, it would be very problematic
