I dont know what it is but I’m finding this very difficult to figure out. I’m not exactly a noob but the networking bit is quite complex for me anyway. Would appreciate if someone could walk me thru getting this sorted. I have enabled the ssh service and with that password authentication. Accessing the webgui there’s no issue, buit when I try to ssh in via the terminal I get permission denied (publickey). I have tried to ssh-copy-id from my mac but the same permission issue arises. Also, whereas with previous versions of Scale, when accessing the webgui remotely, a WireGuard config from a TrueNAS Ubuntu VM on the Scale system worked without issue. Now that gui is inacessible outside the lan. I feel the solution is probably quite simple but I cannot figure it out.
TrueNAS Scale 25.10.2.1 on a minipc Intel (R) N100
I did, thanks. I was overthinking it somewhat (I think) and went back to a guide I’d put together a few years back that I’d completely forgotten about. I need to finish it off with disabling password login and only have key-based login, so that’s my next step. The server is not available outside the lan so there’s no major danger there. I do want to figure out how to access the webgui outsde the lan via a WireGuard config like I have been able with all Scale versions up to Fangtooth 25.04, but maybe I need to post that under a different post?
The underlying problem is so simple when you understand it fully and can then provide a solution to it. So, I was using an Ubuntu VM to run WireGuard. I could access ssh into the VM but not Scale. Eventually, with the help of ChatGPT that pointed me in the right direction, I discovered that when I installed Goldeye I did not create a bridged network. Hence, the VM was not able to communicate directly with Scale. I had difficulty trying to edit the network to create a bridge, so my solution was to install the wg-easy app on Scale and BINGO! I can access the webui of Scale remotely. Why didnt I think of this before and why was I using a VM to run WireGuard? In the past I had tried to run wg-easy and couldnt get it working. Am I more proficient at installing apps or has wg-easy become easier to install? Anyway, I hope it helps someone else out there. Thanks for the help folks.
