FAQPage Schema

How do I set up SSH for remote access to my server?▼

To set up SSH remote access, this service configures sshd as a managed user service, handling package installation and server configuration to establish a secure shell connection from any remote location.

Can I use public key authentication to secure my SSH connection?▼

Yes, you can use public key authentication to secure your SSH connection. The setup strongly prefers key-based security over password methods to ensure safe remote shell access to your machine.

How does the SSH server stay running after I disconnect?▼

The SSH server stays running because it is registered as a persistent user service. This configuration ensures the sshd daemon automatically restarts and remains active even after you disconnect your remote session.

Do I need password authentication if I already have SSH keys configured?▼

No, you do not need password authentication if SSH keys are configured. While password methods are supported, the setup strongly prefers key-based security to prevent unauthorized remote access.

What's the best way to manage my Zo Computer terminal remotely?▼

The best way to manage your terminal remotely is configuring a secure SSH server. This establishes a persistent shell connection, allowing you to handle development and file transfers from a remote laptop.
