Installation

To install, clone the repository directly from GitHub by running the following command:

git clone https://github.com/Hermanye996/config_ubuntu_server.git

Usage

1. Start Configuration

To initiate the configuration process, run the start_configuration.py script with sudo permissions. This script will check for root permissions, prompt for user input such as the system-boot path and wifi credentials, generate SSH keys, and create a cloud-init configuration.

# On your PC
sudo python3 start_configuration.py

You can download ubuntu 22.04 server for Raspberry Pi from Ubuntu

2. Create SSH Configuration

After the cloud-init process has finished, you can run the create_ssh.py script. This script will assist you in configuring SSH access by obtaining the IP address of the server, generating an SSH configuration, and writing it to the SSH configuration file.

# On your PC
python3 create_ssh.py

3. Run SSH

You can easily use ssh in a single command now.

And you can also use remote-SSH in Visual Studio Code without entering a password!

# On your PC
ssh your_server_nick_name

4. Update Configuration (Optional)

If you change your wifi name or wifi password, you can simply re-run step 1 and step 2 to easily update your settings.

# On your PC
sudo python3 start_configuration.py

# On your PC
python3 create_ssh.py
