How to access console using Linode shell

by | Feb 13, 2023

Here is a handy guide to help you access console using Linode shell as well as via Weblish. Our Linode Support team is here to lend a hand with your queries and issues.

How to access the console using the Linode shell

Today, we are going to take a look at the Lish Console, also known as the Linode Shell. It is a powerful tool that helps us manage our Compute Instances on the Linode Cloud Manager.

Furthermore, it offers us direct access to the internal Linux system of the server. In other words, we can run commands, install software, as well as configure applications from a single interface.

Our experts will demonstrate how to easily access the Lish Console.

How to access the Lish Console

We can access the Lish Console via a terminal application or the Linode Cloud Manager (Weblish).

  • Accessing Lish Console via a terminal (SSH)
    1. First, we have to open a terminal and run this command:

      ssh username@location

      Remember to replace the username and location with the Cloud Manager username and preferred Lish SSH gateway.

    2. Next, we have to verify the Lish SSH gateway’s fingerprint by checking for it on the list of Lish Gateway Fingerprints.
    3. Once the fingerprint is deemed valid, we have to click Yes.
    4. Then, enter the password that we use to log in to the Cloud Manager.
    5. At this point, we can see a list of our Compute Instances. We can easily connect to any instance by typing its name at the Lish command prompt.
  • Accessing Lish Console via Weblish
    1. First, we have to log in to the Cloud Manager.
    2. Then, choose our preferred Compute Instance.
    3. Next, we have to click the “Launch LISH Console” link.
    4. After that, we can log into our Compute instance by entering the username and password.

According to our experts, we can avoid entering our password each time we connect to Lish via SSH by adding the public SSH key to the Linode Cloud Manager.

This involves logging in to the Cloud Manager, clicking on the profile icon, and selecting LISH Console Settings. Then, we have to paste the public SSH key in the “SSH Public Key” field, and click “Save.”
