I encountered an interesting situation, advised several friends of Fastpanel to manage VPS, and found out that the instructions were not complete. Rooting in Ubuntu is not described at all, it just says "Run as root" (I'm using Ubuntu 20, I'd love to use 21 as well, but it's not supported). For some providers (for most European), root access is limited. I will describe several ways to solve this issue.
Option 1. Simple and safe
- Connecting via SSH
- We write in the console:
$ sudo su -Everything, we are under root. After the restart, you will be under the standard user
Option 2: Permanent access
- Open /etc/ssh/sshd_config with administrator privileges, for example:
$ sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config- Добавляем, или раскомментируем значение, и сохраняем:
Ищем:
#PermitRootLogin prohibit-passwordМеняем на:
PermitRootLogin yesAn easier option is to run the command in the console:
$ sudo sed -i 's/#PermitRootLogin prohibit-password/PermitRootLogin yes/' /etc/ssh/sshd_configBy default, the root password is not set in Ubuntu 20.04, to set it, you need to do the following:
$ sudo passwd
[sudo] password for linuxconfig:
Enter new UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: password updated successfullyПерегрузите сервис ssh
$ sudo /etc/init.d/sshd restartили
$ sudo service sshd restartПосле этого вы можете переподключиться по SSH с введенными данными (под root).
