Tailscale SSH Setup — Termux (Phone) → Home Rig

Problem

From work computer → home rig:

  • SSH works without asking for Linux password
  • Likely using SSH key authentication (or Tailscale SSH)

From phone (Termux) → home rig:

  • Prompt asks for regular Linux account password
  • This means no SSH key is configured on the phone

Goal

Make phone SSH behave like work computer:

  • Use SSH key authentication
  • No Linux password prompt
  • Clean login via Tailscale IP

Step 1 — Generate SSH Key on Phone (Termux)

Open Termux and run:

ssh-keygen -t ed25519
