A TrimUI Brick app wrapping dropbear, an ssh server.

Requirements

• Docker (for building)

Building

make release

Installation

1. Mount your TrimUI Brick SD card.
2. Download the latest release from Github. It will be named SSH.Server.pak.zip.
3. Copy the zip file to /Tools/tg5040/SSH Server.pak.zip.
4. Extract the zip in place, then delete the zip file.
5. Confirm that there is a /Tools/tg5040/SSH Server.pak/launch.sh file on your SD card.
6. Unmount your SD Card and insert it into your TrimUI Brick.

Note

The device directory changed from /Tools/tg3040 to /Tools/tg5040 in MinUI-20250126-0 - released 2025-01-26. If you are using an older version of MinUI, use /Tools/tg3040 instead.

Usage

Note

The default credentials are:

• root:tina
• trimui:trimui

daemon-mode

By default, dropbear runs as a foreground process, terminating on app exit. To run dropbear in daemon mode, create a file named daemon-mode in the pak folder. This will turn the app into a toggle for dropbear.

passwordless-root

Note

TODO: Implement me. We need to somehow generate an empty string for a hash and template out the etc/passwd file before mounting it.

To allow access to the root user without specifying a password, create a file named passwordless-root in the pak folder.

password

Note

TODO: Implement me. We need to somehow generate a hash for the specified password and template out the etc/passwd file before mounting it.

Creating a file named password will result in the contents of that file being used as the password for the trimui user. If not specified, the password is set to trimui.
