The Sandbox is Raspberry Pi used as a UNIX playground/prototyping platform available to all students.

New users

Account creation

When adding new user account it, they should:

  • be added to the sudo group
  • have a ~/public_html under the group publicweb
  • ~/ under the group publicweb
  • be given a default password which they are requested to change


The following script will take care of those steps:

#!/bin/sh
u=$1
# create user account
adduser $u
# add user to grops sudo publicweb
adduser $u sudo
adduser $u publicweb

# create ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
mkdir /home/$u/.ssh/
touch /home/$u/.ssh/authorized_keys
# create public_html dir
mkdir /home/$u/public_html
# make user and group of ~/ 
chown $u:$u /home/$u -R
# change group of user dir to publicweb
chown $u:publicweb /home/$u
# give permissions rwxr-x--x  others need to be x for apache transversing
chmod 751 /home/$u
# just allow read permission and traversal for the group, no write to public_html dir
chmod 750 /home/$u/public_html
# make the files created under public_html belong to publicweb group         
chmod g+s /home/$u/public_html
# change group of public_html to publicweb
chgrp publicweb /home/$u/public_html

ssh access

SSH from outside the HRO network is done via the Tinc Hub network

To allow ssh access:

New users will need to:

  • generate a ssh key pair (if don't yet have one)
    • ensure the key is generate with ed25519 algorithm, instead of the default rsa ssh-keygen -t ed25519
  • add public key to user's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
  • create/add to their laptops ~/.ssh/config
Host hub.sandbox
User USERNAME
Hostname 10.0.0.11
ProxyJump USERNAME@xpub.nl:2501
Identityfile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
Serveraliveinterval 30

Adduser to HUB network

Template:Add user to HUB

You will need:

  • username on the Sandbox
  • user's ssh public key
  • Sandbox Pi IP within Hub: 10.0.0.11

After adding users

  • ask users to try to login with: ssh hub.sandbox
    • if unsuccessful try to debug ssh hub.sandbox -vv
    • recheck if user public key in both laptop and sandbox ~/.ssh/authorized_keys matches
    • that their USERNAME is the same on laptop's ~/.ssh/config and in the sandbox
    • if still unsuccessful ask for help! (usually from gnd)

current users

For sanitary reasons graduated students' and past guests' accounts should be deleted.
