Upload ssh key to multiple servers automatically

Posted on by

Here is a quick script I created to automate copying a ssh key to multiple remote servers.

Basic command – the command uses sshpass to upload the ssh key to a remote server, this allows you to execute the command and not have to enter in a password to authenticate.

sshpass -p password ssh-copy-id -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no admin@remotehost

Script

#!/bin/bash

remotehosts="$1"
username="admin"
password="MyCoolPassword123"

for host in `cat ${remotehosts}`
do
sshpass -p${password} ssh-copy-id -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no ${username}@${host}
echo "Uploaded key to " ${host}
done

echo "Finished!"

 

Using the script

  1. Download here.
  2. Make it executable 
    chmod +x sshcopy.sh
  3. Edit the script and change the username and password.
  4. Create a file that contains each host’s IP address or hostname.
  5. Run script (change hostlist.txt to your host list you created in step 3.) 
    ./sshcopy.sh hostlist.txt
  6. Wait for the script to finish.

Example:

wget www.incredigeek.com/home/downloads/SSHCopy/sshcopy.sh
chmod +x sshcopy.sh
sed -i s/admin/bob/g sshcopy.sh                      <-- Change username - you can just manually edit the file,
sed -i s/MyCoolPassword123/password/g sshcopy.sh     <-- Change password - it might be easier than using sed
echo "192.168.1.100" >> host.txt                     <-- Add 192.168.1.100 to the host list
echo "Bob" >> host.txt                               <-- Add hostname bob to host list
./sshcopy.sh host.txt                                <-- Upload ssh key to all host's in the host file i.e. "bob" and "192.168.1.100"

How To Connect a UniFi AP to remote UniFi Server via SSH

SSH into the UniFi AP

ssh ubnt@unifiip

The default username and password is ubnt.

once your in the UniFi type in

mca-cli

and then type in

set-inform http://UniFiControllerip:8080/inform

The UniFi should now show up in the UniFi controller as “Pending”

Adopt it and go back the the Unifi AP and run the above set-inform command again.

set-inform http://UniFiControllerip:8080/inform

If everything went well the UniFi AP should now be active in the UniFi controller.

If the UniFi was connected to a previous UniFi controller then it is going to need to be reset.  You can do that by running the following command after sshing into the device.

syswrapper.sh restore-default

After it is reset, you can run the first commands again to adopt it to the controller
