SSH is an essential tool for multi-machine setups. In this video, I'll take you through my setup for using the iPad as an SSH client, how to configure your hosts, how best to map your keyboard and how to get a slick-looking shell prompt.

Your videos are brilliant, I am finishing a rather long WebDev course and its great to carry my iPad and Pi where ever I need to be and continue coding.

Fantastic video. Really glad I’ve found your channel. You’ve broken down a complex topic into a really easy to understand way. Thank you.

@MichaelAlderete 2 года назад

You do such a good job of putting together a cohesive, tight script for these videos, with clear on-screen demonstration of what you're talking about. It's _so_ dense, I do wish for companion text articles to make it easy to copy/paste commands out of, and so on. Of course, those require maintenance, tech support when people's random environment differences conflict, and so on. So I totally understand when/if you can't do that.

@tech_craft 2 года назад

I started doing that but have neglected it. I will pick back up with that practice because I agree it makes a lot of sense.

@harrrybailey Год назад

Brilliant series, I’ve gone through all the setup and optimisation videos you’ve put out. Thank you so much for all this amazing content- I’m so happy with my little setup now. I was wondering if you’d looked into how to SSH over a wired connection and connect the iPad to an external display? I was thinking a TB3 dock of some sort but am worried that the throughput would be affected. Cheers!

@tech_craft Год назад

For SSH usage, even a 100Mbit wired connection will be more than adequate. You also get the benefit that wired connections are far more stable and predictable than WiFi.

@erikkurniawan5854 Год назад

Hi Rob, great explanation, btw i had iPad Gen 9, do you think that device is good enough to be a ssh client device as yours?

@yolodunni367 2 года назад

Great video, thank you. In terms of accessing machines from different networks, how safe is this? Have you enabled port forwarding on the host router?

@tech_craft 2 года назад

SSH is pretty secure if you deploy it and manage it correctly. For me that means no password authentication, securing my private keys correctly and, if I'm going to put a machine directly on the Internet with something like port forwarding I'll also install fail2ban which blocks IP addresses after too many failed login attempts. Port forwarding is a perfectly acceptable solution for home use if you lockdown the SSH machine. You might also consider a VPN solution, there's a few really simple ones like Tailscale that I've had some success with. More recently, I've been evaluating remote.it as a way to expose specific services from my home machines on to the Internet. This is a little more targetted than a VPN and, in my tests at least, has way less impact on battery life on the iPad.

@yolodunni367 2 года назад

@@tech_craft nice one, cheers!

@MrRedmondinho 2 года назад

Tailscale is excellent, really easy to set up and use, apart from it devouring your iPad battery. If you use it make sure once finished you go to VPN settings and properly turn off the VPN connection. Even if you just open the app and don’t connect. Then it’s not so bad.

10:14 - 100% agree about CapsLock and a need for remapping it. However.... on MacBookPro 2017 with Touch bar, ESC key is a virtual one (on the Touch Bar). So CapsLock has a better candidate for remapping 🤣

@tech_craft 2 года назад

I tried to like the touchbar but Escape is far more important

@marcelchaloupka 2 года назад

Don't think my comment posted. But, do you have a tutorial on how to sync obsidian with git on ipad? I'm trying to sync cross MacBook, iPad, Android. I followed tutorials and finally got the desktop to local to sync to remote ssh GitHub repo. I uses zsh, git, desktop apps of obsidian & GitHub. The part I'm having trouble with is the iPad setup for obsidian using the community plug in obsidian-git. I keep get error about not recognizing ssh transport protocol. On ipad I used working copy to clone my repos. I installed shellfish on ipad, but not sure what info to enter to sync to GitHub and MacBook to have version control across devices for obsidian.

@tech_craft Год назад

I don't use Obsidian but, my guess as to the best way to do this with Git is to use Working Copy on the iPad.

@mogigi Год назад

@@tech_craft oh ok. Yes, I've been using working copy trial version. The main error I've been getting is with just the obsidian-git plug in on ipad. Plug in keeps saying my git isn't ready and it's not recognizing the ssh transport protocol.

Hi rob, how can i connect my iPad that is connected to wifi to my Raspberry pi 4 that is not connected to wifi? Is there a way to do that? Cause my Raspberry has the default connection with my home wifi and when i leave home i have no More connection so the ssh doesn’t work. Have you got an idea ? Thanks

I use a USB-C cable that's configured for Ethernet over USB-C. This lets the Pi and iPad communicate with each other. This video shows my latest configuration: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3UPaI4Hp66Y.html

Been using CapsLock as Ctrl for 6 or 7 years now, I can't remember a time when I had to contort my pinky to do ctrl keyboard combinations Linux user here, this video was recommended, just here checking out how you do it You said you dont want to configure everything from scratch, I use ansible (ansible-pull) to setup my computers from a clean install. I can take fedora from a clean install, to a productive state for my job with one command (except I need to copy some keys, but moving to yubikey), and I can take arch linux to a ready to game state, from a basic install (the new basic official installer) Wondering why you use mosh at all. You run mosh after you ssh in to keep your session? why not just use gnu screen or did you not also mention tmux earlier? I expected you to talk about port forwarding to get mosh to replace ssh (which is a good option as well) Good video!

@tech_craft 2 года назад

I use tmux almost everywhere but when connecting over a mobile connection I connect over mosh rather than ssh. I used ansible in my job many years back but haven’t used it since. More and more in exploring using Nix and NixOS for this kind of thing.

@Ziggurat1 2 года назад

@@tech_craft Thanks for answering, I just didn't notice you talk about opening ports for mosh, is this for another episode? I use ansible-pull at home to "kickstart" my setup into a computer. syntax is "ansible-pull -U gitaddress.git" It will pull down the git repo into a temporary folder and run local.yaml which then I wrote to install packages, configure things I hate doing if its an arch fresh install, change shell to zsh, copy some config files to /etc and /etc/profile.d, get my dotfiles using git, stow the dotfiles out to my home dir using gnu stow, and on my work computer pull down my most important git and svn repos I have to have to be productive. nixos sounds interesting, are you going to make videos about it, I like your video format, I'd like to learn more about nixos from videos like your videos

You can pretty much replace FTP with SSH for everything. In the SSH suite of tools comes scp and sftp. The scp program allows you to move files between machines using SSH. With sftp you get an interface like traditional ftp but it's running over the SSH channel.

Hi Rob. Thanks for the great videos! I have set up a Raspberry and use it with the iPad Pro. Everything runs perfectly except for the error message "command not found: starship" in the terminal (zsh) of the code-server. I have already installed a Nerd Font Mono in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/firaCode/. Starship still not working in code-server terminal. In Blink it works perfectly incl. all special characters. Do you have any idea? Many tnx!

@tech_craft Год назад

This sounds like an issue with the PATH. If you run `echo $PATH` in Blink and in code-server you'll see the difference. It's also worth checking `echo $SHELL` in case code-server is picking up a different shell somehow.
