Regulars / Ubuntu

Get Fatty connected.

Open this page on your Ubuntu machine. Copy each command block into Terminal in order.

01 · Enable SSH on Ubuntu

Run after installing Ubuntu and connecting it to the internet. Enter your Ubuntu password when prompted.

sudo apt update &&
sudo apt install -y openssh-server &&
sudo systemctl enable --now ssh

02 · Find your connection details

The username is printed first. Your ZeroTier address appears beside the interface whose name starts with zt.

whoami
ip -br addr

Send the username and ZeroTier IP back in the chat so we can configure the Mac’s fatty shortcut.

03 · Check SSH is listening

systemctl is-active ssh.socket ssh.service
ss -ltn 'sport = :22'

Look for an active SSH service or socket, and a listener on port 22.

Connect from your Mac

Replace both placeholders with the details from step 02. Run this in your Mac’s Terminal.

ssh YOUR_UBUNTU_USERNAME@FATTY_ZEROTIER_IP
