Features

This add-on, of course, provides an SSH server, based on [OpenSSH][openssh]. Additionally, it comes out of the box with the following:

• A secure default configuration of SSH:
  • Only allows login by the configured user, even if more users are created.
  • Only uses known secure ciphers and algorithms.
  • Limits login attempts to hold of brute-force attacks better.
  • Many more security tweaks, this addon passes all ssh-audit checks without warnings!
• Comes with compatibility mode option to allow older clients to connect.
• SFTP support is disabled by default but is user configurable.
• Compatible if Hass.io was installed via the generic Linux installer.
• Username is configurable, so root is no longer mandatory.
• Persists custom SSH client settings & keys between add-on restarts
• Log levels for allowing you to triage issues easier.
• Have custom Alpine packages installed on start. This allows you to install your favorite tools, which will be available every single time you log in.
• Execute custom commands on add-on start so that you can customize the shell to your likings.
• [ZSH][zsh] as its default shell. Easier to use for the beginner, more advanced for the more experienced user. It even comes preloaded with ["Oh My ZSH"][ohmyzsh], with some plugins enabled as well.
• Contains a sensible set of tools right out of the box: curl, Wget, RSync, GIT, Nmap, Mosquitto client, MariaDB/MySQL client, Awake (“wake on LAN”), Nano, Vim, tmux, and a bunch commonly used networking tools.
