Set up a machine

  1. Install herdr-core on the computer, and make sure you can reach the computer over SSH.
  2. In Herdlet, open Settings and copy the public key line.
  3. On the computer, add that line to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.
  4. In Herdlet, tap Add a machine and enter the host name and your user name.

To look around first, use the interactive demo on the home page. It shows sample data and needs no computer.

Common problems

“The host rejected the device key.” The public key from Settings is not in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys for that user on that computer. Add it and try again.

“Install herdr-core on this host.” The hc command was not found on the computer. Install herdr-core, or put hc in ~/.local/bin.

“The host key changed.” The computer presents a different SSH host key than the one saved at the first connection. If you reinstalled the computer, tap Trust on the Machines screen. If you did not expect this, do not connect.

“No answer.” The computer is asleep, off, or not reachable from the network your iPhone is on. Herdlet tries again by itself.
