| If you already have a ZFS pool, I'd probably personally just throw on zfsbootmenu and a ZFS-root Alpine install. But, this is cooler and does have advantages:) |
| |
| ▲ | FiloSottile 3 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | TIL about ZFSBootMenu! Still, the whole frood system is significantly less complex than ZFSBootMenu alone. | |
| ▲ | sunshine-o 4 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | ZFSBootMenu and Alpine are a beautiful match. |

| > root/etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key and root/etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key.pub and root/root/.ssh/authorized_keys for obvious reasons. What are the _obvious_ reasons for the NAS root to have an SSH key? |

| ▲ | yjftsjthsd-h 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | To log in and administer it? There's even an example; search for "extlinux --once". (There are other options, like a web UI or non-root SSH, but that's the obvious thing. Also if you want to advocate non-root I'm going to want to hear a threat model.) | | |
| ▲ | cassianoleal 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | You don't need a private key on the host for that, only your public key in authorized_keys. Edit: Oh boy I should have paid more attention. Those are the host keys. :facepalm: |
