    # Proxmox

    So if you're using Proxmox you need to open up ssh and run the following commands:

    1. Setup a root password

    ```bash
    sudo passwd root
    ```

    2. Enable ssh

    ```bash
    nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
    ```

    3. Change the following line:

    ```bash
    PermitRootLogin without-password
    ```

    to

    ```bash
    PermitRootLogin yes
    ```

    4. Restart ssh

    ```bash
    systemctl restart sshd
    ```
