Getting issues - while setting up Ethereum network in AWS instances using puppeth

[bansatya]

HI,

I am facing issues while trying to setup private network using Puppeth between two AWS ubuntu instance . Initial issue was related to connection as below..

ERROR[06-15|10:27:01] Server not ready for puppeth err="ssh: handshake failed: ssh: unable to authenticate, attempted methods [none], no supported methods remain"

This is resolved once the private key of other m/c explicitly added to the other m/c in form of id_rsa file under .ssh folder.
However, while deployed nginex or other template , there is some generic issues. Details are in below log:

Hello after installing go ethereum and geth, I configured a bootode, and 3 nodes sealers I created a POA and started the nodes with json files; everything works, but when I try to install ethstat with puppeth, I receive the following error:

[softstack]

Are you able to login via ssh to your node ?

ssh username@IP
ex. ssh ubuntu@10.122.0.5

If not connect to the node via ssh first

1. ssh-copy-id 0.0.0.0

if this not work disable temporary
Log in as root
Edit ssh config:
sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Change this line:
PasswordAuthentication no
to
PasswordAuthentication yes
Restart daemon:
sudo systemctl restart sshd

Do ssh-copy-id:
ssh-copy-id someuser@

Revert changes to ssh_config if you are security conscious and restart daemon.

@Bitmaudit You need to explicitly type yes, not just y. Maybe we should accept both or make the error message more meaningful.

[karalabe]

@bansatya You seem to be getting error returns Please login as the user "ubuntu" rather than the user "root".. When connecting to your server do ubuntu@IP

[Bitmaudit]

Yes! Now i know...thanks Grazie. ing. Tommaso Coppola Il gio 21 nov 2019, 11:00 Péter Szilágyi <notifications@github.com> ha scritto:
