I bought a Pogoplug E02 back in 2013 wanting to do something, but never even got around to do it, so it was lying unused. I now have certain things my mind, like setting up google cloud print and some home automation, so powered it on for the very first time today and activated it. I realized that ssh can no longer be enabled via Pogoplug account, but I was able to use the below curl hack to hit /sqdiag/HBPlug for starting dropbear:
I am able to ssh into it:
I am wondering if I can just follow a debian installation guide or if I must first enable ssh permanently, using the serial cable method. I don't have a cable right now and never did anything like that, so it would make my life much easier if that is not required.
Also, is there any criteria to help decide whether to install Debian or Arch linux on this?
$ curl -k "https://root:ceadmin@192.168.1.53/sqdiag/HBPlug?action=command&command=dropbear%20start"
I am able to ssh into it:
ssh -oKexAlgorithms=+diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 root@192.168.1.53
