This is important, because we want to use this IP address when we connect to our server from another computer in our network.Īdditionally, if you want to be able to adminstrate your server from outside of your home network, you need to port-forward port 22 to your home server. Go to the network configuration and make sure that you always assign the same local IP address to your home server. Enter 192.168.1.1 or whatever the default gateway of your router is (you can generally find this information on a sicker attached to the back of your router) and log in (again, login credentials are often found on your router). To this end, we need to configure a few things in our router’s settings.

I personally prefer not needing to connect a mouse, keybard, and monitor to my home server and rather administrate it from my Windows machine.
