@ -76,15 +76,25 @@ All the settings are optional.
Connection parameters are provided as a dictionary with the following keys (all optional):
| Parameter | Values | Comments |
| ----------- | -------------------------------------- | ------------------------------- |
| ------------------------ | -------------------------------------- | ------------------------------- |
| `address` | IP of remarkable | tool prompts for it if missing |
| `username` | username for ssh access on reMarkable | default: `"root"` |
| `key` | Local path to key for ssh | not needed if password provided |
| `password` | Password provided by reMarkable | not needed if key provided |
| `timeout` | connection timeout in seconds | default: 1 |
| `insecure_auto_add_host` | ignores the check on the fingerprint | default: `false` |
:warning: If you get an error when connect using a key, but the key seems ok when connecting manually with ssh, you probably need to convert the key to the PEM format (or re-generate it using the `-m PEM` option of `ssh-keygen`). See [here](https://github.com/paramiko/paramiko/issues/340#issuecomment-492448662) for details.
:warning: **Connecting after an update:**
An update to the reMarkable tablet would change its "fingerprint" i.e. the identifier that signals we are connecting to the expected device (and not somebody impersonating it).
When this happens you may get an error message upon connection.
There are two main ways to fix this:
1. Change your `.known_hosts` file to match the new fingerprint (you can get instructions by connecting manually via ssh).
2. Set the `insecure_auto_add_host` setting to `true`, which will make rmview ignore the check.
This is not recommended unless you are in a trusted network.
:warning: **Key format error:**
If you get an error when connect using a key, but the key seems ok when connecting manually with ssh, you probably need to convert the key to the PEM format (or re-generate it using the `-m PEM` option of `ssh-keygen`).
