A quick guide to setup a SSH-conncection to Virtual Machine Ubuntu Server 20.04
This article shall serve to prevent wasting hours looking for the pitfalls I encountered setting up Ubuntu Server 20.04 on my Virtual Box host (Ubuntu, Windows and Mac).
You must add config option at the bottom of the config file i.e. /etc/ssh/sshdconfig: $ sudo vi /etc/ssh/sshdconfig OR $ doas vi /etc/ssh/sshdconfig. Example: Allow root login from from 192.168.2.5 with ssh-key but disallow everyone else. Append the following in your /etc/ssh/sshdconfig. There is no sshdconfig for me, there is an sshconfig but the contents are completely different from what’s shown. Adi Chiru October 17, 2016 at 5:58 pm sshdconfig is the configuration od the ssh server (the daemon is called sshd). Sshconfig is the configuration of the client (ssh is the command to use the client). Install Ceph Storage Cluster on Ubuntu 20.04. Before you begin the deployment of Ceph Storage Cluster on Ubuntu 20.04 Linux servers you need to prepare the servers needed. Below is a picture of my servers ready for setup. Using an SSH client. On Ubuntu and Mac OS, an SSH client is already installed. Some versions of Windows 10 also include an SSH client too, but if yours does not or you’re unsure, follow these steps to install one. Open a terminal and run the following command: ssh ubuntu@ You will be asked to confirm the connection.
Ubuntu 20 Install Ssh Server
Install Ubuntu Server Image in Virtual Box
Download and install the .iso-file as described here. It's quite straightforward:https://hibbard.eu/install-ubuntu-virtual-box/Install openSHH right away or install it afterwards with
Ubuntu Server
Ubuntu Server comes without a GUI and nice advanced terminal features like a clipboard. You could install tmux but a more elegant way is to use a shell from your host.
Port Forwarding
Now, on a normal server connected to the same network, you could just SSH in the server right away (if configured right).Running ‘ifconfig’ on your Ubuntu server will show a strange IP like‘10.0.2.15’which has to do with the way Virtual Box treats the virtual machine.If you try to SSH in your virtual machine you will get a misleading error
In case it was really a connection timeout you could just open the ssh config file
and change the line
but this is not the issue here!
As always stackoverflow gets straight to point even though detailed descriptions are missing. The solution is simple port forwarding. Just follow the steps:
- Turn off VM
- Go to settings -> network -> adapter1 -> advanced -> port forwarding
- Create an entry with Name: ForwardPort (could also be anything else), Protocol: TCP, Host-IP: 127.0.1.1, Host-Port: 2222 (could also be 22 or any other unbmer as long as not occupied already on host), Guest-IP: 10.0.2.15, Guest-Port: 22
- Confirm, start VM, log in. SSH server starts automatically.
- On host enter in terminal
And there we go! I logged in as user dome on my host ubu.
Transfering files
Use scp. If you want to transfer a file from guest to host use
Windows SSH support
Since Windows 10 Windows comes with openSSH, so no more need for PuTTy.Anyway, if you login i.e. with Powershell you will note, that the copy paste behavior changes. Before CTRL+C and CTRL+V worked fine, but now you need to mark text and hit ENTER to copy and right click to paste (stackoverflow).
Ssh Server Ubuntu
P.S.If you use VIM in Powershell, you will note, that the background color will likely mess up readability and result in a display like this (recognize the dark blue text?)
Install Ssh On Ubuntu 20
If so, just change the background colors, with right click on the white window bar next to minimize, go to properties -> colors.
