Get Zerotier or similar on your dad’s PC. Alternative is to use noMachine or another remote access solution.
If you were to go the hypervisor way things are even more flexible as you can then see the entire network, including all hardware. However you can achieve full LAN access with Zerotier or similar as well.
ok thanks - not one I’ve used so didn’t realise it would work that way. many thanks
Hi bruce,
Ran into the same issue and found some solutions (but I’m clearly no expert) :
You could use the following :
ssh -t user@your-ha-host 'zsh -l'
This will request a tty from the server [-t] and ensure proper user login phase using zsh [zsh -l] (that’s an L). that should put you right into the tmux used on the web interface.
I tried and fiddle with these two options, and I think that removing [-l] will put you into zsh but not the tmux, but I’m getting confused with user configs, login config, etc. If anyone can shed some light, it’d be welcome!
Hello,
I just installed SSH& Web Terminal. When I start it I get the error S02 bad gateway. How to fix this error. THANKS
Hi
I am using this on a test machine and just updated it from 2024.6.4 to 2024.10.4.
Now when I try to ssh from Windows Terminal it doesn’t display the banner message and the prompt looks weird.
Any idea what could be the issue?
Otherwise everything seems to work. I can still print the banner with ha banner. And it also looks fine in the web terminal.
Hi @rct
Did you end up finding what caused this?
I have the same symptom when sshing into HA using my own user (not root) and this addon. When I sudo su - root the weird prompt is not present.
The .profile file only contains “exec sudo -i”, which does not appear to be the cause (commenting it out doesn’t remove the symptom).
Originally I posted about that as a symptom of using mosh + tmux all in one line like I do to start sessions on other Linux hosts:
mosh hassio@hasshost -- tmux a
I just worked around it by doing it in two steps mosh hassio@hasshost then tmux a.
The cause of that problem is that /home/hassio/.profile doesn’t run which does sudo -i to switch from hassio to “root” in the container.
I’ve seen that starting a month or two ago. I thought I broke something in my init script or something. Good to know it isn’t just me.
The cause is similar to above, for some reason /home/hassio/.profile doesn’t run or fails. So the sudo to root doesn’t happen.
The .profile file only contains “exec sudo -i”, which does not appear to be the cause (commenting it out doesn’t remove the symptom).
The question is why isn’t .profile being run? If I run it source ~/.profile (which as just pointed out just does sudo -i ) you wind up in the right state, running as “root” in the container and running the dot files in /root like .zshrc
For me, /home/hassio/.profile is owned by root with mode 0644. I’ve changed that to 0755 and with ownership hassio:hassio but it still doesn’t run correctly.
Do you use the add-on’s init commands or install additional packages? I think the think to do is try this on a fresh install with the default config.
As a result of this I realized I can work around this and get mosh + tmux to run in a single line:
mosh hassio@hasshost -- sudo -i tmux a -t homeassistant
Ok, now I understand what’s breaking the prompt and causing the sudo to root not to happen. The change may have appeared in 19.0. See the github issue: Shell prompt regression #788 for all the details. Note that issue is misnamed.
Specifically, see @tsightler’s comment and workaround
I believe it was broken by PR #755 which changed the default shell from /bin/sh to /bin/zsh for the added users. However, the script creates only .profile, while, I’m pretty sure that zsh will not run .profile by default for a login shell, and thus requires .zprofile to exist.
A temporary hack is to add the following to “init_commands” configuration option and restart:
ln -s /home/hassio/.profile /home/hassio/.zprofileNote that if you use a username other than “hassio” you should replace that in the path above.
This does not only not not but also breaks the terminal addon from starting with current versions because I have no such hassio username.
I tried using ~ or $HOME to make it work, even . while assuming the it would be the current directly but nope, no way to make it work in a portable way. Unless you use the full path it will not work.

We need to watch Shell prompt regression after latest 19.0.0 update · Issue #788 · hassio-addons/addon-ssh · GitHub
I just updated my addon to 20.0.0 and had to copy .zprofile to .profile for it to work again in an external ssh client (works ok from terminal). Not sure why don’t include this stuff in release notes for new versions!
Edit: This changed gets removed on a home assistant restart. Why???
selecting “use zsh” from config allows it to work from outside terminal, but zsh is lame!
Hi! Can I make this add-on do rsync?
IMHO the add-on restarts and all contant that was not in he container image is lost - except from the configuration.
See the gist I shared above which allows me to setup the environment again upon the first login after restart: Home Assistant Community Add-on: SSH & Web Terminal - #582 by le_top .
Hopefully I can gain some traction on this request – fingers crossed.

Just wondering if there is a workaround
Having an issue with SSH, on the logs keep seeing this (as the password prompt arises):
Connection from 1.2.3.4 port 64692 on 5.6.7.8 port 22 rdomain “”
Invalid user HAOS from 1.2.3.4 port 64692
Excess permission or bad ownership on file /var/log/btmp
and then inputting the correct password yields this:
Failed password for invalid user HAOS from 1.2.3.4 port 64740 ssh2
Excess permission or bad ownership on file /var/log/btmp
any suggestions?
Hi,
I have been using this add-on for many months, really helps to tinker with the configs, etc!
I am running the latest versions of all software. But recently (less than a month ago) I noticed I started having issues: the add-on does not start automatically after the server reboots. For security, I do not have it set to retry starting when it crashes.
When I try to start it manually after I log onto HA, it always starts without issues. Looking at the logs, it seems to be due to docker not having initialised some IP address when the add-on starts. Is there a simple way to put a workaround in, like to introduce a delay?
Here is an extract of the log:
Add-on version: 20.0.2
You are running the latest version of this add-on.

I have the issue that after start of the terminal screen I get “press enter to reconnect” and after pressing enter the same message again.
I checked the logs and get the following message

In supervisor log it shows
2025-05-22 12:12:02.194 ERROR (MainThread) [supervisor.api.ingress] Ingress error: Server disconnected
SSH access is working fine…
My guess is that the AddOn has been configured to use port 22222 instead of 22. Check the AddOn’s config tab and see what it says.
I solved it.
It had to adapt the headers in my reverse proxy settings. Locally it was already working but any remote access was not working.
Thanks, that allowed it to start.
It seems the option to change the port is no longer supported but it is still shown in the config UI…
Hi, I’ve just set up HA on a new Pi5 and was looking for a way for the Pi5 to access my ssl certificates on my main Debian server so I can access HA from the internet using SSL. I thought setting up a file share would be a good way to do it so I’ve installed this SSH Add-on and added “sshfs” and “fuse3” to the packages list. Looking in the log SSH installs the packages ok, but when I try to create the share I get “fuse: failed to open /dev/fuse: Operation not permitted”.
Maybe there’s a better way to share the pems or I’m doing something daft? Thanks
