# Home Assistant Add-on: SSH server
Allow logging in remotely to Home Assistant using SSH or just the web terminal with Ingress.
![Supports aarch64 Architecture][aarch64-shield] ![Supports amd64 Architecture][amd64-shield] ![Supports armhf Architecture][armhf-shield] ![Supports armv7 Architecture][armv7-shield] ![Supports i386 Architecture][i386-shield]
## About
Setting up an SSH server allows access to your Home Assistant folders with any SSH
client. It also includes a command-line tool to access the Home Assistant API.
Try it out using:
```bash
ha help
```
## Installation
Follow these steps to get the add-on installed on your system:
1. Navigate in your Home Assistant frontend to **Supervisor** -> **Add-on Store**.
2. Find the "SSH server" add-on and click it.
3. Click on the "INSTALL" button.
## How to use
You need enable the port for external access. You can just enter 22 as value or any other
value like you want. This recommend to add login credentials.
To use this add-on, you must have a private/public key to log in.
To generate them, follow the [instructions for Windows][keygen-windows]
and [these for other platforms][keygen]. It is possible to set a password for
login since version 2.0 but for high security use private/public keys.
You can not run both variants at the same time. Enabling login via keys, will
disable password login.
1. Add a ssh key to `authorized_keys` or set a `password` in the add-on configuration.
2. Start the add-on.
3. Connect to your device using your preferred SSH client and use `root` as
the username.
After logging in, you will find yourself in this add-ons container.
The Home Assistant configuration directory is mounted on the path `/config`.
## Configuration
Add-on configuration:
```yaml
authorized_keys:
- ssh-rsa AKDJD3839...== my-key
password: ''
```
### Option: `authorized_keys`
Your **public keys** for the authorized key file. You can authorize multiple
keys by adding multiple public keys to the list.
### Option: `password`
Set a password for login. **We do NOT recommend this variant**.
## Network
To enable ssh access via the network, you need to enter the port number 22 or the port you want to use. This will map that port from the hassio host into the running “Terminal & SSH” container.
## Known issues and limitations
- This add-on will not enable you to install packages or do anything as root.
This is not working with Home Assistant.
