Can't ssh in to MaaS controller started from tutorial multipass instance

[abooker-s2]

Multipass version is 1.13.1 on Debian Bullseye with instances (re)created over the last week or so. MaaS version is unclear to me since I can’t find it in the UI, that seems functional, and can’t ssh in to the controller to query it from the commandline. The o/s version reported by multipass for the VM is Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.

I didn’t see how to add authentication info to allow login so I added my own key, but I think that might allow me access to deployed nodes rather than the controller itself. Being inexperienced I was hoping the multipass based tutorial would ease things.

Apologies for the missing information previously.

The step that I trip up on is this one which refers to an existing ssh session to the controller that doesn’t exist in my attempts to re-create the environment.

Thanks for your time.

Hi @abooker-s2 ,

are you hosting the controller on multipass? Can you access your vm with

multipass shell <INSTANCE_NAME>

? You might need to run multipass list to see your vms

I knew I had to be overlooking something every time I read the tutorial. IMHO it’s not obvious that multipass shell is what is being called for, but I was up a blind alley trying to use ssh directly without enough context. Thank you so much for your time.
