RoonMatrix Part 15: SSH access via terminal

Login takes place via terminal via SSH.

The default values for this are:

User: rmuser

Password: rmuserpw0815

For this you need the IP address of the RoonMatrix, which can be found in the router's network list, for example.

In this example this is the IP: 192.168.0.52.

The command:

ssh This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

You then have to enter the password.

You should now have established a connection to the device.

It is highly recommended to change the password via app or terminal!

Changing via the app is the simpler option (configuration button, field: password).

This is how it works via the command line:

sudo passwd rmuser

[sudo] Password for rmuser: enter-the-new-password-here

The FTP subdirectory contains the Python script that controls the functionality of the device:

cd FTP

ls

> roonmatrix.py

The configuration file is here:

/usr/local/Roon/etc/roon_api.ini
