System Preparation

Add the Moonshot libraries.

If you have not already done so, you first need to follow the instructions on how to .

Add the Moonshot OpenSSH Repository

1. We've moved the OpenSSH packages from the main Moonshot repository into their own, so add the Moonshot Debian OpenSSH repository to your system. To do this, run the following command (as root, or using sudo):

   bash

Configure APT

Debian 8 currently ships with OpenSSH v66.7p1, which matches our version. So that you can install our OpenSSH, and not have it reverted back to the non-Moonshot-enabled system-provided OpenSSH next time you do an apt-get upgrade, we must tell apt that the Moonshot repository has precedence over the official Debian repositories.

1. Create a file called /etc/apt/preferences.d/moonshot, with the following content:
    

   true

Ensure that your hostname is correct

The channel bindings check requires that the hostname of your SSH server match the hostname people are SSHing to. That is, the output of the "hostname" and "hostname -f" commands should match the FQDN of the server. If it doesn't, change /etc/hostname to make it so.

Installation Instructions

1. Install the Moonshot-enabled pre-compiled OpenSSH packages using apt. This will replace the system provided OpenSSH.

   bash

Configuration Instructions

Once installed, the Moonshot-enabled OpenSSH server will still need a few quick tweaks in order to turn on the Moonshot support.

Follow the configuration instructions on the page to configure the server.
