Boxes that can be difficult to establish incoming ssh connections into because of NATs, Firewalls, etc should run field/robust_remote_connect.py [cloud_username] [cloud_ip]. This will use autossh to open a ssh -R tunnel to a cloud server from the field box. Someone on the cloud server can connect to the box using cloud/connect_from_cloud.sh [field_username] [field_hostname].

Public keys for cloud servers should be added to cloud/authorized_keys and public keys for field boxes should be added to field/authorized_keys.

Keys in field/authorized_keys need to be restricted to only running cloud/robust_remote_connect_helper.py for the program to work, see comments field/authorized_keys for instructions. This ensures someone with access to the field box after deployment doesn't have full access to the cloud server.

Once keys have been pushed to the repo, running cloud/add_authorized_keys_from_field.sh and field/add_authorized_keys_from_cloud.sh to add keys from field/authorized_keys and cloud/authorized_keys respectively to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the cloud servers and field boxes.

Required programs: autossh, python3
