Is there a default password to connect to vagrant when using `homestead ssh` for the first time?
I'm trying to connect to vagrant via homestead ssh
:
[email protected]'s password:
But my public key password doesn't work.
My Homestead.yaml looks like this:
authorize: ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
keys:
- ~/.ssh/id_rsa
I'm using "Laravel Homestead version 2.0.14" with "Vagrant 1.7.2".
After trying a lot of passwords and becoming totally confused why my public key password is not working I found out that I have to use vagrant
as password.
Maybe this info helps someone else too - that's because I've written it down here.
Edit:
According to the Vagrant documentation, there is usually a default password for the user vagrant
which is vagrant
.

In recent versions however, they have moved to generating keypairs for each machine. If you would like to find out where that key is, you can run vagrant ssh -- -v
. This will show the verbose output of the ssh login process. You should see a line like
debug1: Trying private key: /home/aaron/Documents/VMs/.vagrant/machines/default/virtualbox/private_key
I've a same problem. After move machine from restore of Time Machine, on another host. There problem it's that ssh key for vagrant it's not your key, it's a key on Homestead directory.
Solution for me:
- Use vagrant / vagrant for access ti VM of Homestead
- vagrant ssh-config for see config of ssh
run on terminal
vagrant ssh-config
Host default
HostName 127.0.0.1
User vagrant
Port 2222
UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null
StrictHostKeyChecking no
PasswordAuthentication no
IdentityFile "/Users/MYUSER/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key"
IdentitiesOnly yes
LogLevel FATAL
ForwardAgent yes
Create a new pair of SSH keys
ssh-keygen -f /Users/MYUSER/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key
Copy content of public key
cat /Users/MYUSER/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key.pub
On other shell in Homestead VM Machine copy into authorized_keys
vagrant@homestad:~$ echo 'CONTENT_PASTE_OF_PRIVATE_KEY' >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
Now can access with vagrant ssh
