I setup an ssh kiosk in open access like a webpage, the password is empty and there are no keys.

ssh kiosk@apps.noulin.net
yes

When you connect to it, you see a menu and you can start my TUIs.

My TUIs

Close the apps by pressing `esc` or `q` multiple times

Setting up sshd

Create a user kiosk and set any password:

adduser kiosk

Change password to set it empty:

printf '%s\n' 'kiosk:U6aMy0wojraho' | chpasswd -e

Configure sshd:

vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Match User kiosk
  PasswordAuthentication yes
  PermitEmptyPasswords yes
  ForceCommand /home/kiosk/tcalc
  X11Forwarding no
  AllowTcpForwarding no

Restart sshd

service sshd restart

`adduser` and `passwd` don't accept empty password, `passwd -d` disables the password and it is not possible to login. That's why I use `printf` and `chpasswd` to set an empty password.

ssh #tui
