Device installation

Overview

The SSH No Ports daemon (a.k.a. sshnpd) is installable as a background service in many ways depending on your environment you can choice your best option. The service may be installed as a systemd unit, docker container, tmux session, or as a background job using cron and nohup. The binaries can also be installed standalone so that you can install your own custom background service.

No Windows Support

We currently don't offer sshnpd as part of our releases. If this is something you would like for us to prioritize, please let us know through one of the following options:
