SSH Connection (Linux/MacOS Terminal)

Connecting to MikoPBX via SSH using Terminal (Linux/MacOS)

Generating and Linking the Key

1. First, generate an SSH key. Open a terminal and enter the following command to create it:

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "[email protected]"

In this example, an "ed25519" key will be generated with the comment "[email protected]" 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)

By default, the key is saved at Username/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub on macOS or /home/Username/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub on Linux.

1. Next, you need to retrieve and copy the newly created public key. Enter the command:

cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub

Public key

1. Open the MikoPBX web interface and go to System → General Settings:

2. Paste your public key into the "SSH Authorized Keys" field:

SSH Authorized Keys Field

Connecting via SSH

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!
