I get a permission denied when trying to SSH
Unfortunately SHA-2 RSA keys are not currently supported.
Unfortunately, due to a shortcoming in Go’s x/crypto/ssh package, Soft Serve does not currently support access via new SSH RSA keys: only the old SHA-1 ones will work. Until we sort this out you’ll either need an SHA-1 RSA key or a key with another algorithm, e.g. Ed25519. Not sure what type of keys you have? You can check with the following:
$ find ~/.ssh/id_*.pub -exec ssh-keygen -l -f {} \;
If you’re curious about the inner workings of this problem have a look at:
Generating a new SSH key
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "your_email@example.com"
- When you're prompted to "Enter a file in which to save the key," press Enter. This accepts the default file location.
- At the prompt, type a secure passphrase.
How do I update a pastebin post?
Updating a post requires that you update the source document and then run the scp
command again. If the filename remains the same, then the post will be updated.
How do I delete a post?
Because scp
does not natively support deleting files, I didn't want to bake
that behavior into my ssh server.
However, if a user wants to delete a post they can delete the contents of the file and
then upload it to our server. If the file contains 0 bytes, we will remove the post.
For example, if you want to delete delete.txt
you could:
cp /dev/null delete.txt scp ./delete.txt {{.Site.Domain}}:/
Alternatively, you can go to ssh {{.Site.Domain}}
and select "Manage posts."
Then you can highlight the post you want to delete and then press "X." It will ask for
confirmation before actually removing the post.
When I want to publish a new post, do I have to upload all posts everytime?
Nope! Just scp
the file you want to publish. For example, if you created
a new post called taco-tuesday.md
then you would publish it like this:
scp ./taco-tuesday.md {{.Site.Domain}}:
What is my pastebin URL?
https://{username}.{{.Site.Domain}}
Can I create multiple accounts?
Yes! You can either a) create a new keypair and use that for authentication
or b) use the same keypair and ssh into our CMS using our special username
ssh new@{{.Site.Domain}}
.
Please note that if you use the same keypair for multiple accounts, you will need to always specify the user when logging into our CMS.
