If you already have a ZFS pool, I'd probably personally just throw on zfsbootmenu and a ZFS-root Alpine install. But, this is cooler and does have advantages:)

sunshine-o•1h ago

ZFSBootMenu and Alpine are a beautiful match.

FiloSottile•23m ago

TIL about ZFSBootMenu! Still, the whole frood system is significantly less complex than ZFSBootMenu alone.

> root/etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key and root/etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key.pub and root/root/.ssh/authorized_keys for obvious reasons.

What are the _obvious_ reasons for the NAS root to have an SSH key?

yjftsjthsd-h•1h ago

To log in and administer it? There's even an example; search for "extlinux --once". (There are other options, like a web UI or non-root SSH, but that's the obvious thing. Also if you want to advocate non-root I'm going to want to hear a threat model.)

cassianoleal•50m ago

You don't need a private key on the host for that, only your public key in authorized_keys.

Edit: Oh boy I should have paid more attention. Those are the host keys. :facepalm:
