Before starting a VMware Fusion VM ensure that no Multipass guest instances are running by executing multipass stop -all.
#HOW TO SETUP UBUNUTU NETWORK WITH VMWARE FUSION MAC MAC#
If both Multipass and VMware Fusion are installed on your machine it’s worth noting that by default VMware Fusion VMs are configured to share the IP address of the Mac on the external network under Settings > Network Adapter > Share with my Mac. NOTES Possible Conflict between VMware Fusion and Multipass These same credentials can be used to configure SFTP connections to the guest instance using its root user in Forklift and FileZilla. This is important to remember if attempting to remove public host keys for a given instance from the known_hosts file: Using sudo on the command line is not an issue although by doing so the guest instance’s public host keys ( ed25519, rsa and ecdsa) are added to /var/root/.ssh/known_hosts on the host not ~/.ssh/known_hosts. NOTE: On a Linux host with Multipass installed via Snap the identity file is /var/snap/multipass/common/data/multipassd/ssh-keys/id_rsa.īecause of its location on the host, superuser privileges are required to read the identity file. The corresponding public key is written to /home/ubuntu/.ssh/authorized_keys and /root/.ssh/authorized_keys on the guest instance. For macOS, this identity file is /var/root/Library/Application Support/multipassd/ssh-keys/id_rsa and is created along with the private key when Multipass is installed.
The private key is stored in an identity file on the host. Public key authentication requires both a public and private key. Typically this is public key authentication and Multipass guest instances are no exception. When establishing an SSH connection, we need to be mindful of the authentication method used by the server. Files are then transferred using FTP over the SSH connection. Using SFTP, an encrypted SSH connection is first established by the client to the server. These and other file transfer applications typically use SFTP to transfer files to and from the client and server. Neither of these methods can be used to configure connections in applications like Forklift or FileZilla. A standard user with sudo privileges named ubuntu is created by default on every new guest instance: To demonstrate, I’ll be using macOS as the host OS and a Multipass guest instance named foo with an IP address of 172.16.170.4 running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. The public key is stored on the host or client and the private key is stored on the guest instance or server. The public or private key used to authenticate the guest instance or server to the host or client. The identity file is stored on the host or client. The file containing the private key necessary to authenticate a user on the guest instance or server. The (virtual) machine being connected to by a client. The machine initiating a connection to another (virtual) machine. The machine or OS on which Multipass is installed.
Throughout this article the following terms are used: Term NOTE: If you have both VMware Fusion and Multipass installed on the same machine, take a look at Possible Conflict between VMware Fusion and Multipass at the foot of this article. Purists and more security-minded individuals may balk at this, but these VMs are local, non-production servers purely for testing. There are two things I want to be able to do with Ubuntu Server VMs: establish an SSH connection as root and navigate the file system using applications such as Forklift and FileZilla. I’ve recently forsaken VMware Fusion in favour of Canonical’s Multipass to create and manage Ubuntu Server VMs on macOS.
