Connecting via SSH

The apex server is accessible via SSH, but not via the standard key-based authentication. Instead, we use tailscale to connect to the server.

Warning

This guide assumes you are already set up and connected to the tailscale VPN. If you are not, you cannot connect to the apex server.

To connect to the apex server, you can run the following command:

ssh <username>@apex

What if I see ssh: Could not resolve hostname apex?

If you see something like:

ssh: Could not resolve hostname apex: nodename nor servname provided, or not known

when trying to connect to the apex server, it simply means you are not properly connected to the tailscale VPN.
