I have a computer with an industrial control type motherboard with no video output ports or video cards.

Ubuntu 18.04 server OS boots from a Compact-Flash drive. I installed the OS via cloning.

I would like to add an ssh server to the OS, by adding it to the disk.

The ssh-server was not installed at the time of server OS installation.

How do I add an ssh-server to a bootable hard drive?

  • Maybe, the boot disk a a compact flash, for an industrial control type motherboard. I could clone it to a hard drive, boot it, install ssh, and clone it back to the flash. That seems pretty convoluted. I could try to boot via usb card reader, that might work. A third option: I use a micro controler to give shell commands, emulating a keyboard to install and set up ssh-server. All of those seem like overly complex. I was thinking if I could just add some files for ssh server, and tell it to run on boot that would be simpler. – j0h Feb 10 '20 at 21:52
