tmate-ssh-server for Debian =========================== To open a terminal session with your tmate-ssh-server server, you need to create a ~/.tmate.conf file on the host where the terminal session is to be hosted. It needs to include the fingerprint of the ssh key used by the tmate-server. To retrieve it, run: $ ssh-keygen -l -E sha256 -f /etc/tmate-ssh-server/keys/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub $ ssh-keygen -l -E sha256 -f /etc/tmate-ssh-server/keys/ssh_host_ed25519_key.pub Copy the hash after "SHA256:" to the template below: ~/.tmate.conf: set -g tmate-server-host "tmate-ssh-server.example.com" set -g tmate-server-port 10022 set -g tmate-server-rsa-fingerprint "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxzy01234567890abcdef" set -g tmate-server-ed25519-fingerprint "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxzy01234567890abcdef" On the host where the terminal session is to be run, "tmate" needs to be installed. Users accessing the terminal session merely need to have a standard ssh client installed.
