Configure SSH tunneling for easy shiny server access

[alwil]

• follow the DCC guides. You can use different algorithm for generating the ssh key, e.g. ssh-keygen -f ~/.ssh/<my-keyname> -t ed25519

• then check the guides for copying files to the server

• Just FYI, if you ever have lots of data that you need the shiny-server to interact with, you might want to request a project drive and mount it on the server

I followed the steps in the documentation, but I still do not have access permission from bastion to the mintemu server.

@cforgaci , you can try adding the following line to the .ssh/config file on your local machine: IdentityFile ~/.ssh/<key_to_be_used>

Here's how it look like for me now ( I named the ssh key mint):

Host mintemu
        HostName mintemu_shiny.bk.tudelft.nl
        User awilczynski
        ProxyCommand ssh bastion -W %h:%p
        IdentityFile ~/.ssh/mint

It worked like a charm for me!

note that copying works only to ~ on the server, then copy from there to the target directory

Issue solved. Closing.
