How do I connect to my Owncast server directory?

No problem. Okay, it's an Authentication failed error. This usually means that the password used didn't match the username or user doesn't exist on the system.

Are you using root or a user account you created?

A couple things to try:

1. Make sure you're connecting to the correct IP.
2. Make sure that the password is typed in correctly for the user (root or one you've created).
3. You can try logging into the LISH Console with that username and password to make sure that they work. https://www.linode.com/docs/guides/lish/

"Log in to the Cloud Manager.

Click on the Linodes link in the sidebar and select the desired Compute Instance.

Click on the Launch LISH Console link in the top right-hand corner of the Cloud Manager.

From here, you can log in to your Compute Instance with any other username and password available on that system (such as root)."

1. If using root and you cannot login via SFTP or LISH and .sshd_config hasn't been changed or a firewall put in place, you may need to reset your root password.

I hope this helps.

Hey @allreadyexist!

You can switch from using FTP to utilize SFTP port 22 through FileZilla to connect to the Owncast server.

There, the emojis should be located in:

/opt/owncast/owncast/webroot/img/emoji/

Here are some documents that may further help:

I hope this helps.

Hi Thanks for you response. Unfortunately that doesn't work either.

Status: Access denied
Error: Authentication failed.
Error: Critical error: Could not connect to server

I'm at a lost. :(

Thank you so much!!! I wasn't using root… I was attempting to use my Linode login info.

THANKS! WE DID IT!
