Features

This add-on, of course, provides an SSH server, based on 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 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", 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.
