No ssh keys installed if /root/.ssh/authorized_keys is an empty file
aequitas opened this issue · comments
When /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
is an empty file the infect script will look no further and not install any ssh keys for root in the new NixOS.
@aequitas it appears to be a prerequisite to have a rsa/ed25519 key already provisioned under /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
How do I use it?
Read and understand the [the script](https://github.com/elitak/nixos-infect/blob/master/nixos-infect)
Deploy any custom configuration you want on your host
Deploy your host as non-Nix Operating System.
Deploy an SSH key for the root user.
NB: This step is important. The root user will not have a password when nixos-infect runs to completion. To enable root login, you must have an SSH key configured.
Correct. However there are 3 locations where keys should be searched (https://github.com/elitak/nixos-infect/blob/master/nixos-infect#L21), but the other 2 are skipped if the first location contains an empty file or does not contain valid keys. I made a PR that should fix the issue: #148
@aequitas thanks for explaining this further. patch looks good
