Thanks! This guide saved me an heart attack. :grinning:

[image] DarthCoin: ssh -t umbrel@umbrel.local when I input this in the terminal, it asked about a fingerprint and if i was sure i wanted to connect, I said yes and now I am no longer able to input any further commands, is there something I am missing or a different way to achieve this?

Yes, follow the instructions in the screen. It says what you have to do.

I beleive you have to enter the password at the prompt umbrel@umbrel.local’s password: (it doesn’t show when typing the password). And depending on the version of umbrel you are using the older one uses : “moneyprintergobrrr” .

What is the purpose to change the user name? it’s to replace umbrel to login in ssh, that’s all? I did change it thinking it would be my node name, and then find out above that what I was looking for was to change my node alias (and that it’s not recommended). Should I set back my user name to umbr…

[image] Eluc: What is the purpose to change the user name? Totally useless. That name is meaningless, generic. But noobs are confusing it with node public alias name. That is totally other thing.

Ok I will leave it then. I’m one of those noobs, if it’s useless, why it’s mentioned here? At least you could add a line saying that it’s useless so we don’t bother trying to change it.

[image] Eluc: why it’s mentioned here? Because are obsessed with changing useless names :slight_smile:

I was reading the code of Umbrel, and seems all local IPs adresses and names are hardcoded (fixed in the code), so, to run another instance of umbrel in same local network, you’ll have to change some configure files, for every new install, or you will get lots of IP conflicts.

No, why are you complicating things when are so simple. Set a static IP for each node machine Use the each IP to access your nodes or just add in your local PC hosts file a different name for each node, like umbre1.local and umbrel2.local Done. No complicated changes into node code.
