SSH
Using a different SSH user than root
The default SSH user is root, but you can change it using ssh/user
:
ssh:
user: app
If you are using non-root user (app
as above example), you need to bootstrap your servers manually, before using them with Kamal. On Ubuntu, you’d do:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install -y docker.io curl git
sudo usermod -a -G docker app
Using a different SSH port
The default SSH port is 22, but you can change it using ssh/port
:
ssh:
port: 2222
Using a proxy SSH host
If you need to connect to server through a proxy host, you can use ssh/proxy
:
ssh:
proxy: "192.168.0.1" # defaults to root as the user
Or with specific user:
ssh:
proxy: "[email protected]"
Also if you need specific proxy command to connect to the server:
ssh:
proxy_command: aws ssm start-session --target %h --document-name AWS-StartSSHSession --parameters 'portNumber=%p' --region=us-east-1 ## ssh via aws ssm
Using a different SSH log level
ssh:
log_level: debug
Valid levels are debug
, info
, warn
, error
and fatal
(default).
