help with enabling ssh on an instance of octoprint
February 13, 2024, 20:39
i am trying to enable ssh on my raspberry pi zero w 2 but i am struggling. in the raspberry pi imager, i am enabling ssh but no matter what i do, it does not work. when i checked the ssh file it had made, there was nothing there. so now i dont know what to do. i have already searched this up online but i cant find anything useful.
do you have a display?
no
i do have access to the local files tho
ok when you boot it up go into your network config and see if you can see your pi
sorry i dont really get it i am new to raspberry pi's
can i first say where i am right now?
sure
right now i have a fresh sd card flashed with the image of octoprint from the raspberry pi imager
the sd card is still in my computer and i have not set up octoprint or have i put it into the raspberry pi
hello?
the SSH file shouldn't have a contents, so the fact that it's empty and hasn't been written to is good
how are you trying to connect?
before i was connecting thru windows powershell but then when i give it the password, it says its incorrect
hmm
so SSH itself must be working
for the command that i use, i type "ssh pi@(my pi's ip address)
yeah
that's cool
so
the default password is raspberry
i have tried that as well
damn
uhh
but since i cant see how the password is typed, i dont know if i am making a spelling mistake or not
ah
ok
if you just copy the word "raspberry"
in powershell when it asks for the password you can just right click and it will paste it in
wait
i am using the latest version of the pi imager
that has some options for a username and password
yeah
it has for a while
it was mentioned on the octoprint setup page
oh
i havent checked that lol
lol
so wait
do i leave the password field empty or?
uh
it's best to have a password
but I don't think you actually need one
wait
is it normal for the ssh file to disappear after setting up octoprint?
uhh
wdym by setting up octoprint
what specifically
like when i go through the setup proccess of the web interface
hmm
let me check something
yeah
if it's enabled that file gets deleted
ohhh
ok
im going to try that and i will be back
but for when i setup a username and password though
do i have to set it up with a user name or just a password
you need a username
how would i use the username to access the pi thru ssh?
so, assuming the username was pi
as you were already doing it's just ssh pi@[ip address/local dns]
wait
but the username that i set is different
is that the problem?
oh
yeah
it would be
ssh [username]@[host]
okay i will try that and see if it works
my pi is currently starting up
but will loading a backup ruin the ssh?
it depends how you're doing backups
i am using the automatic tool that octoprint has
it should be fine, that's just octoprint configuration stuff that shouldn't be touching ssh
just to make sure, it is normal for the first boot to take a while right?
yeah
it has to do some stuff like expanding file systems
okay thanks!
by the way, does the raspberry pi zero 2w use the 2.4ghz band or 5 ghz or both for wifi?
let me check
it's just 2.4

IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!
Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)!
It is also possible that a host key has just been changed.
The fingerprint for the ED25519 key sent by the remote host is
SHA256:JkV4WjVxxd66eiBLp1A4pyPxci5rbTxqmRrgYcyyI/E.
Please contact your system administrator.
Add correct host key in C:\\Users\\arad2/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message.
Offending ED25519 key in C:\\Users\\arad2/.ssh/known_hosts:1
Host key for 10.0.0.239 has changed and you have requested strict checking.
Host key verification failed.
i got this error
i am sure that this is not a man-in-the-middle attack
yeah that makes sense
dw
do you use ssh for anything else?
i need it to install something for a camera that i have connected to work
thats all
okay, you can safely delete the known hosts file then
as the error says it's at C:/users/arad2/.ssh
if you can't find .ssh that's because it's a hidden directory
i have seen a different solution online
oh?
and some people say it works
actually all people that tried it
is it just to remove the entry from the file?
its just a command line in the terminal
what's the command?
ssh-keygen -R (pi ip)
oh
yeah
that would work
-R just removes the entry from known_hosts
I didn't know you could do that
thank you so much
it worked
i thought i had to edit alot of files or something
np
hi i need help with something again
its with the pi camera that i have
oh?
i have both installed the picamera2 program and the thing that the company of the camera made
still didnt work
who made the camera
freenove
thats the company name
i can provide a link to the camera
its from amazon
hmm
have you enabled picamera2 in the raspi-config utility?
i have installed it from the python website
someone in the reviews gave a code to put in the config file of octoprint
<@685869137939267603>
this is what we were going to change using raspi-config
it just provides a nicer front end for it
but this will work too
i do not know where to insert the file though
like at what line do i put it
just add it to the end of config.txt
I think there's an [all] specifier there
where does this go? "libcamera-hello --list-cameras"
the terminal
oh
ok
you can run it over ssh if you want
okay thanks
i will test it now
wait is the file that i need to edit called octopi .txt or does it have to be config.txt
config.txt
and after you edit it you have to restart your pi
okay
is it supposed to be like this at the end?
yeah
okay
the camera wont load
hmm
its just stuck on webcam loading
what happens when you run the libcamera-hello --list-cameras command
it recognized the camera
hmm
that's odd
but it still didnt load
ill try restarting in safe mode
bc i have ui customizer
and alot of other plugins
alr
didnt work
wait
i think i might have to adjust the camera settings in octopi.txt
nope
didnt work
