Can anyone @delta help me with setting up a relay server? I'm following the docs.

  • root ssh access is (reluctantly) allowed
  • pyinfra still asks for password of a random ssh key on my local machine
  • it fails because authentication fails

I don't get it, because password authentication is enabled.

Setting up a chatmail relay - chatmail relay documentation

@pft @delta im not sure pyinfra supports password auth and in general i see very little point in doing password auth over key auth

@tudbut don't tell me that, tell @delta to change the docs. I'm just following the steps 🤖

But yes, the remarks don't help.

@pft @tudbut note that the target machine is supposed to be a debian12 pretty blank machine that is managed by cmdeploy.

what exactly is wrong about the docs? right at the top is has a note about ssh (see attachment).
