How to use a shared SSH config file¶
Do the following:
- In the Nextcloud shared folder, locate the following files:
Configurations/work-ssh-config
,Configurations/joseph-ssh-config
. - Create a
config.d
folder inside your~/.ssh
folder. - Create symlinks (aliases) to those files, e.g.:
ln -s /home/jon/ownCloud/work/Configurations/work-ssh-config ~/.ssh/config.d/20-megaphone
ln -s /home/jon/ownCloud/work/Configurations/joseph-ssh-config ~/.ssh/config.d/30-joseph
When you're done, running ls -l
in the config.d
folder should look something like this (note I have a third "personal" symlink:
zabuntu: ~/.ssh/config.d » ls -l
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 jon jon 43 Oct 20 2016 10-personal -> /home/jon/ownCloud/personal/ssh/10-personal
lrwxrwxrwx 1 jon jon 54 May 21 2017 20-work -> /home/jon/ownCloud/work/Configurations/work-ssh-config
lrwxrwxrwx 1 jon jon 56 Nov 27 2017 30-joseph -> /home/jon/ownCloud/work/Configurations/joseph-ssh-config
- Add these lines anywhere in your
.bashrc
file (a hidden folder in your home directory).
function ssh()
{
ssh-combine; /usr/bin/ssh $@
}
function rsync()
{
ssh-combine; /usr/bin/rsync $@
}
function scp()
{
ssh-combine; /usr/bin/scp "$@"
}
function ssh-combine()
{
cat $HOME/.ssh/config.d/* > $HOME/.ssh/config
}
If your username on your local machine isn't the same as your username on the remote machines, we'll also need to tell SSH to use a different default username.
- Create a file in
~/.ssh/config.d
called10-global
. It doesn't need to be a symlink. - The entire contents of this file should be a line:
user dennis
(oruser irene
).
