How to Connect to Your Breeze via SSH

By Admin · Feb 25, 2026 · Updated Apr 23, 2026 · 140 views · 1 min read

After deploying a Breeze, you can connect to it using SSH from your terminal.

Using SSH Keys (Recommended)

If you added an SSH key during deployment:

ssh root@YOUR_IP_ADDRESS

Replace YOUR_IP_ADDRESS with your Breeze's IPv4 address, found in the Breezes dashboard.

Using a Password

If you didn't add an SSH key, use the root password shown after deployment:

ssh root@YOUR_IP_ADDRESS

Enter the password when prompted. We strongly recommend switching to SSH key authentication after your first login.

Troubleshooting

  • Connection refused: Make sure your Breeze is in "active" status and SSH (port 22) is not blocked by a firewall
  • Permission denied: Double-check your SSH key or password
  • Timeout: Verify the IP address is correct
