HUB

WAT

HUB or https://hub.xpub.nl is a VPN wonder to gazillions XPUB things.

You will need to:

• 1. Add a new thing (see bellow)
• 2. Once you have added that add a new jump user (see bellow)
• 3. Jump user connects to his machine like this:

ssh -j xpub.nl $IP

Adding a new thing

Only gnd or a should do that. Also we will only add things that can only be ssh'ed via keys, no passwd logins plz.

• On xvm:

tinc -n hub invite ${NODE_NAME}

• On ${NODE_NAME}:

FIXME

Adding a jump user on XVM

There is a script called add_jumpuser. It adds a new user on XVM, that is only allowed to ssh into the remote machine. You will need:

• Username for the user
• IP of the machine (see below for allocation)
• ED25519 pubkey from the user

Once you have all of this, just run on XVM (note the single quotes around the ssh pubkey):

/root/scripts/add_jumpuser.sh USERNAME IP 'PUBKEY'

eg.:
/root/scripts/add_jumpuser.sh lol 10.0.0.666 'ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIE29EOVCl0/WjknAoEEEZSPUyCWQKNoXX2HCC123456 some1@host'

When removing the user on XVM:

• userdel -r USERNAME
• remove USERNAME from AllowUsers in sshd_config
• restart sshd

IP allocation

• 1-9: XPUB main servers
• 10-99: shared machines used by the whole course (for admin or lessons or multi-user projects/libraries/etc)
• 100-254: personal and/or grad projects machines
