SSH at boot

Starts the MPC's SSH server whenever MPC starts, so the other mods can always be reached and fixed.

Trigger
Always on
MPC versions
Any (tested on 3.9.1.2 and 3.10.0)

What it does

A developer convenience rather than a music feature. The usual way to turn on SSH for the MPC is set up in a way that the MPC can miss on a cold boot, so SSH sometimes isn't there after switching on. This mod starts the SSH server every time MPC starts.

It works on any MPC version and never switches itself off, on purpose: when everything else is switched off, SSH is how you get back in.

How to use it

Nothing to do. Once MPC is up, connect with ssh as you normally would.

Settings

In ssh-at-boot.conf:

Setting Default What it does
enabled 1 0 stops it starting SSH.

How it works

When the MPC program starts, the mod asks the system to start its SSH service, without waiting for it, and does nothing else.
