In this post, we’ll cover how to run a SSH server directly on Chrome OS (ie not into a Crouton chroot).
One of the first things I do on any machine (FreeBSD, Linux, Mac OS X or Windows) is to install, run and configure the SSH server. It’s always convenient to be able to scp from and to a computer, or to log in remotely. Even for workstations.
Txf file conversion. Chrome OS is a reasonable if minimal standard Linux installation offering access to iptables and sshd (and openvpn by the way), so it’s as easy to run sshd and to allow incoming traffic on port 22.
Setup
1. If it’s not already done, switch your chromebook in developer mode, so you can execute commands as root.
Do a backup of your data, as you’ll wipe your current Chrome OS partitions.
On most recent machines, restart in recovery mode (ESC + REFRESH + POWER), then when it boots, CTRL + D to enter the developer mode.
Hit enter to turn off OS verification. It will then restart. Now and everytime after, you’ll need to do a CTRL + D to boot.
Yes you can, but getting a Chrome OS image is the difficulty. There are a few forks & open source alternatives based on the open source version: Chromium OS, and I think you can build Chromium OS from source too but I've never tried that personall. After installing 7-Zip, you can simply double-click a DMG file to open it and browse its contents. If you’d like to extract the files from the DMG so they’re easier to work with, right-click the DMG file, point to the “7-Zip” menu, and then choose one of the extraction options. Archive Extractor is a Chrome extension that is an ideal choice for decompressing a variety of zipped files. We mean 7-Zip, TAR, DMG, crunch, NSA, and many others. We mean 7-Zip, TAR, DMG, crunch. Open the file called 'googlechrome.dmg'. In the window that opens, find Chrome. Drag Chrome to the Applications folder. You might be asked to enter the admin password. Chrome OS already comes with the Python 3 interpreter pre-installed, but we need to install a few more packages to get the best Python coding experience. This includes pip (a dependency manager for Python), venv (for managing Python virtual environments), and some build tools for working with native packages. In the terminal, run.
It will then wipe your chromebook and reinstall a fresh Chrome OS version. The process takes 6 to 7 minutes.
Former machines require to use an hardware switch, generally located below the battery. Be gentle with this switch, it breaks easily.
2. Launch a console with the shorcut ctrl + alt + t, then write shell to open a full bash shell (if the shell command isn’t available, you aren’t in developer mode).
Become root with sudo su.
3. Setup SSH keys :
2 4 | cd/mnt/stateful_partition/etc/ssh ssh-keygen-tdsa-fssh_host_dsa_key |
4. Run SSH:
5. Allow world to connect to port 22:
6. Add your public keys to ~chronos/.ssh/authorized_keys file. Authentication by password isn’t available.

7. You’re now able to log in from the world to your chromebook.
