Setting Your Password

Enabling Remote Support

In order to enable remote support, you will need to authorize the maintenance team to access your mesh node using their SSH public keys, and you will also need to allow SSH over Yggdrasil. Following these steps, you will allow a maintainer to log into and use your mesh node remotely -- as long as it's connected to the global Yggdrasil network. See #The Yggdrasil Page if you think you may not be connected to the rest of the Yggdrasil network.

Authorize the Maintenance Team to Access Your Mesh Node

  1. Navigate to System > Administration
  2. Select the "SSH-Keys" tab
    1. The ssh-keys tab.
  3. Enter the following keys, clicking "Add Key" in between each

The Diagnostic Page

The Yggdrasil Page

If you don't have any peers, your Yggdrasil screen will look something like this.

One of the most helpful screens for troubleshooting is the Yggdrasil page. This page is entirely focused on your mesh node's status within the global Yggdrasil mesh network. As long as your mesh node has public Yggdrasil peers, it is connected to the global Yggdrasil mesh network. This means that things like remote support will work properly. If you're interested in learning more about Yggdrasil vs. the Internet vs. the LAN, see our Network Architecture page.

Note: Before continuing, connect to your mesh node using the MassMesh.org wireless network or by connecting directly to the mesh node, like in Mesh Node Troubleshooting.

You can access the Yggdrasil page by selecting "Network > Yggdrasil" on the right-hand menu in OpenWrt.

Checking for Peers

A working mesh node should have several peers. You can see these in the following screen: ...

If you don't have any peers, your Yggdrasil screen will look something like this:

  • If you don't have any peers, your Yggdrasil screen will look something like this.
  • Note the "Proto" column.... it says "self," because the only peer your mesh node has is ... itself!
