SSH and logs

The pedalboard runs an SSH server. There is no password login: only keys.

  1. Put your public key (for instance ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub) in a file named authorized_keys on the card’s first partition, from any computer. Several keys can go in the file, one per line.
  2. Start the pedalboard. The keys are copied at each boot; deleting the file revokes them.
  3. Log in as root, at the address your router gave the pedalboard:
Terminal window
ssh root@192.168.1.42
Terminal window
tail -f /var/log/messages # audio server, app, storage
cat /etc/pedalboard-release # version of the image
pedalboard-update status # system slots and the last update

Logs are kept in memory: they start again at each boot.

Your data lives in /data/pedalboard:

Folder What it holds
models/ Neural captures and impulse responses, Tone3000/ for downloads
presets/, scenes/ Presets and setlists
lv2/ LV2 plugin bundles

Copy files with scp -O, then give them to the app:

Terminal window
scp -O -r "My Rig" root@192.168.1.42:/data/pedalboard/models/
ssh root@192.168.1.42 'chown -R pedalboard:pedalboard /data/pedalboard'

Before writing a new image to the card, which erases it, copy your data off:

Terminal window
ssh root@192.168.1.42 'tar -cf - -C /data pedalboard' > openrig-backup.tar

The backup includes your TONE3000 sign-in: keep it private.
