seed-durable-ssh
Sets up passwordless, multiplexed SSH access from your machine to a named remote host — the reusable access layer for any seed that works remotely.
What this seed does
This seed sets up reliable, hands-free SSH access from your machine to one remote computer — a Raspberry Pi, a home server, a lab box. Once installed, you (and any AI agent working on your behalf) can connect to that machine instantly, without passwords, every single time.
The install does four concrete things: it copies your SSH key to the remote host (you type its login password once, in your own terminal), records the host's identity so future connections are trusted automatically, and writes a small config that keeps one persistent connection open and shares it across all subsequent commands. After that, any tool that uses SSH — yours or an agent's — just works, quickly, without re-authenticating.
It is designed to be installed *first* by any other seed that needs to reach a remote machine, so SSH access is proven and fast before anything more complex begins. It leaves no daemon, tunnel, or extra software on the remote host — the only remote change is your public key in authorized_keys.
When to use it
- I want an AI agent to install and configure software on my Raspberry Pi without me babysitting every SSH connection step.
- I'm setting up a home server and want my laptop to connect to it password-free from now on.
- I'm about to run a multi-step remote install and want SSH to stay fast and persistent throughout, not re-handshake on every command.
- I keep getting prompted for my password every time I SSH into my lab box and want to fix that once and for all.
- Another seed I'm installing says it depends on
seed-durable-sshand I need to get this in place first before continuing.
