Xscontainer

@stormi Thanks, I just tried that and it still doesn't work

stormi

Well, I tried it myself on a freshly installed pool, and this worked. Can you elaborate on what doesn't work?

kiu

@stormi I still have the same problem, the key does not want to install and asks me if I want to try again.

stormi

What's the exact error message?

@stormi

Would you like to push a pool-specific public SSH key into the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file of the specified VM and therefore authorize hosts in the pool to interact with the containers inside the VM?

Success.

Failure diagnosis: Unable to find ncat inside the VM. Please install ncat. 
Do you wish to retry?

My server is up to date

stormi

It's not the same error. Your VM is missing a required package : ncat, as the error message says.

@stormi My bad. Ok I installed the nmap-ncat package under rockylinux and works perfectly now Thank you

@olivierlambert @stormi
Is there any solution for this, I'm researching how to use xcp-ng + XO to build and manage docker.
When I read about Xscontainer I was excited because it seemed like the best option.
I have a small server and would like to know what would be a clean and transparent solution to achieve this.

I've read a lot and I'm still confused.

Below is everything I researched and read on the subject:

I found another workaround (one-step solution) for the "Unable to verify key-based authentication error" without having to mess with any of the python packaging.

Adding

PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes +ssh-rsa

To your /etc/ssh/sshd_config file will make the VM accept the older authentication

@codycrypto this worked! thank you so much!

@johnnyorange Glad I could help! Took me weeks to figure that out lol....I would caution using that in production though, not sure the security implications for accepting the older key type.
