I mentioned ~/.ssh/config in the chat room during the live stream. Here’s an example of what I’m talking about:

For example:

Host myhost
    Hostname myhost
    User myusername
    Port 12345

If myhost is resolvable in your local DNS server, then you can ssh myhost, put in your password, and you are in.

First, happy birthday!

Second, Jay did a good video on this recently: The OpenSSH Client Config File: Simplify your SSH Connections - YouTube

Thanks. I don’t recall if Lawrence and Jay talked about the ~/.ssh/config file during the Homelab show, but good to know.
