SSH Connection through addon - unreal - 2016-06-24
Hello Kodi,
So my goal is to have an addon with a button. And if you click it, a python script is executed that makes a ssh connection to another pi and executes a command.
(The addon is not really that, but for simplicity)
Here is my problem. My Idea was to have a python script that looks like this:
https://gist.github.com/bortzmeyer/1284249
The problem is that it ask for a ssh password. So I googled and the main answer was paramiko and others. Problem is I
cant install modules on openelec. Ive read somewhere( cant find the post) that you can import modules through os. But
if I import one modul. That modul has requirments that I need to import through os again. Which is kinda a bad solution.
Is there some addon that makes a ssh connection to something that i can study or do you people maybe have an alternative solution?
best regards
Sebastian

You need to organise passwordless key based authentication. You don't need anything other then the built in ssh for that. There are many howtos found via google. Eg https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-configure-ssh-key-based-authentication-on-a-linux-server or https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SSH_keys

I thought it was not possible because of open elecs read only directories. I'm gonna try it tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestion.

/storage is read-write, and is root's home directory.
