ccogdill has new computer, needs ssh set up again...
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Hi all!

I'm sorry to do this again so soon, but my 4 year old laptop finally quit on me and a I got a new one yesterday. As such, I can no longer access the server to run queries. Can someone help me get access back to frdev?

@CCogdill_WMF ok, we'll set you up with a new key.

First step is generating it: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Production_shell_access#Generating_your_SSH_key

Then you can post the public key and your yubikey output on your officewiki profile and I'll update your account.

You will also need to set up your ssh config: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising/tech/ssh_config

I have been updating the documentation around this process to hopefully make it easier.

Thank you @cwdent! Those instructions are *way* clearer, I really appreciate that. I think I did everything correctly, though my new config file looks different from my old one, I think. Was there any customization I was supposed to do outside of updating my username in the config file?

Here's my office.wiki page: https://office.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:CCogdill_(WMF)

@CCogdill_WMF if you still have your old ssh config, use that one. There is pretty much infinite variation to what it could look like so stick to what you are used to if possible.

That ssh key looks a little short, I think it may be just the signature. Try:

cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

It should be a giant block of text.

I don't have a copy of my old config, sadly :( And OIT wasn't able to copy over any of my old data so I'm starting fresh on this machine :D But in that case, I could be wrong about them being different!

Oops, let's try the key again: https://office.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:CCogdill_(WMF)

Hey! Anything else I can do here? I'm behind on doing some big updates to the team without access to server data.

CCogdill_WMF claimed this task.

Wonderful, I'm in! Thank you very much, Casey!
