Secure Shell Access {#sec-ssh}

Secure shell (SSH) access to your machine can be enabled by setting:

{ services.openssh.enable = true; }

By default, root logins using a password are disallowed. They can be disabled entirely by setting to "no".

You can declaratively specify authorised public keys for a user as follows:

{
  users.users.alice.openssh.authorizedKeys.keys = [ "ssh-ed25519 AAAAB3NzaC1kc3MAAACBAPIkGWVEt4..." ];
}
