VM deployment putty ssh

#1

I don’t seem to be able to ssh into a VM after creating it. I keep getting connection timeouts. I tested connecting to a non-3node with an ipv4 address and that was no issue. Could the IPv6 address for the 3node be tripping me up?

Hi @jelco.

  • Can you tell me a little more how you deployed the VM. Did you use play.grid.tf or a terraform script.
  • Can you ping the ip address?
  • did you provide the SSH public key to the VM deployment?

Hello, It was in fact on play.grid.tf I didn’t try a ping but will recreate the issue tomorrow and see if I can ping the IP address. I did enter in the ssh public key on the deployment. That is not to say I did it correctly since this is new for me. I copied and pasted it directly from the putty key gen tool.

Ping failed. The planetary IP is 300:3c91:453b:dbd9:c43b:30c2:63d4:c513

Did you install the planetary network in your laptop / server you use to work on? See here for how to install: https://library.threefold.me/info/manual/#/manual__yggdrasil_client

I did not know about this. That’s probably the issue. I will work on this later and report back. May I suggest adding this info in the library about deploying the individual weblets. It could help newer folks to the platform like myself

#7

Yes, good point we need to have some more manuals created around the weblets. There is a ton of information available in the github repo.

I was able to get it working! I took an old desktop and installed ubuntu as a play around computer and got the planetary network going on there. I successfully connected via ssh to the VM and deployed a workload as well. I haven’t done command line work in about 10 years. Getting involved in threefold just makes me want to play around more with computers again

Same here - I love command line stuff!
