root login with Combustion on MicroOS - any platform and RPi
Greetings, I have been struggling alone on a concept issue. The issue has a strong adherence to Combustion. I have received some input from one of our members here and wish if someone else could come forward please as he might not like to be disturbed if I am not very good with Combustion. I can ssh to GreenGeeks, AWS, Digital Ocean, OVH, stackcp, etc. with keys created with PuTTYgen for years. For the last weeks, I have been perusing many many wikis but I seem to miss something because after creating the config file on the USB key (labelled COMBUSTION & under combustion directory), I cannot get RPi nor x64_86 images to accept the keys. My non admin user is NUI. If someone could kindly send me a working config file with xxxxxxx where the PUB key is to be added/completed, I think that it will just work! Why time is of essence, it's because we've got our monthly meeting this coming Saturday (16th October) and I would like to get into the matter and prepare some slides as well. With best wishes and thanks in anticipation, Jimmy Pierre

You should find all available information on https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:MicroOS
but I seem to miss something because after creating the config file on the USB key (labelled COMBUSTION & under combustion directory) ^^^^^^^^^^ Just to be sure: Is the device name really upper case? Currently only lower case names are recognized.

Currently it's not possible to execute commands affecting the /home directories with Combustion, as this subvolume is not mounted in the environment Combustion is running the command in. You can use Ignition instead. You can find a complete example on https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:MicroOS/Ignition#Add_a_password_and_a_SSH_key... (just leave out the "password_hash: xxx" line, otherwise this example is exactly what you want to do. Just name the USB key "ignition" instead of "combustion". Cheers, Ignaz

Just run "mount /home" in the script (and unmount it later). This should happen automatically in the future, as the bug in transactional-update which prevented that so far got fixed recently. Cheers, Fabian
