Install

SSH Doctor needs a rooted LG webOS TV with the Homebrew Channel installed and showing "Root status: ok". Any root method works: RootMyTV, faultmanager-autoroot, crashd, DejaVuln and the rest.

From the Homebrew Channel (easiest)

  1. Open the Homebrew Channel, then Settings.
  2. Choose Add repository and enter https://ohmybahgosh.dev/repo
  3. Go back to the app list and install SSH Doctor.

Updates then show up in the Homebrew Channel like any other app. The same repository also has LG-USB-2-ETH0 and the other OhMyBahGosh apps.

From a release

Download the .ipk from the latest release and install it with webOS Dev Manager or the webOS CLI:

ares-install org.ohmybahgosh.sshdoctor_*.ipk

To check the download first, put SHA256SUMS from the same release next to it and run sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS.

Opening it

SSH Doctor shows up in the TV's app list. The first time it opens it runs The check, which takes about a second. Nothing is changed until you press a button.

Languages

English, Russian and Spanish, following the TV's menu language. Want another? See Development.

Removing it

Before you uninstall, choose SSH settings, then Reset to Homebrew Channel defaults if you changed any settings. That removes the startup script SSH Doctor added, so SSH goes back to exactly how the Homebrew Channel sets it up. Then uninstall the app like any other.
