Connecting to MikoPBX via SSH using Terminal (Linux/MacOS) |
- First, generate an SSH key. Open a terminal and enter the following command to create it:
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "example.powershell@gmail.com"
In this example, an "ed25519" key will be generated with the comment "example.powershell@gmail.com" for future identification.
You can also specify a path where the key files will be saved. By default, keys are stored in ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub. To set a custom path, add -f and specify it, for example:
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f ~/.ssh/my_new_key
Creating the SSH Keys (pair)
{% hint style="info" %}
By default, the key is saved at /Users/Username/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub on macOS or /home/Username/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub on Linux.
{% endhint %}
- Next, you need to retrieve and copy the newly created public key. Enter the command:
cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
Public key
- Open the MikoPBX web interface and go to System → General Settings:
- Paste your public key into the "SSH Authorized Keys" field:
To connect via SSH, run the following command in your terminal:
ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 root@mikopbxipadress
Replace the following with your actual parameters:
- The path to your SSH key (if different from default).
- The IP address of your MikoPBX in place of
mikopbxipadress.
You will then be prompted for the SSH passphrase if you set one. Upon successful authentication, you will be connected to the MikoPBX console via SSH:
Successful connection!
