 SSH is not reachable from the open internet. Instead, SSH Port 22 is protected by a wireguard VPN network. Thus, to get root access on the servers, at least two pieces of information have to be added to the admins config:
 
 1. **SSH Public key**: self-explanatory. Add your public key to your user attrset under `sshPubKeys`.
-2. **Wireguard device**: each wireguard device has two parts: the public key and the IP addresses it should have in the wireguard network. The pub.solar wireguard network is spaced under `10.7.6.0/24` and `fd00:fae:fae:fae:fae::/80`. To add your device, it's best to choose a free number between 200 and 255 and use that in both the ipv4 and ipv6 ranges: `10.7.6.<ip-address>/32` `fd00:fae:fae:fae:fae:<ip-address>::/96`.

 One can access our hosts using this domain scheme:
 
 ```
-ssh barkeeper@<hostname>.wg.pub.solar
+ssh <unix-username>@<hostname>.wg.pub.solar

 So, for example for `nachtigall`:
 
 ```
-ssh barkeeper@nachtigall.wg.pub.solar
+ssh teutat3s@nachtigall.wg.pub.solar
