Preparation for Seamless Integration

To fully harness the capabilities of BootBoi, your remote machines must be prepared for remote rebooting. This involves a few essential steps:

Executing Power Operations via SSH

BootBoi utilizes Secure Shell (SSH) to execute critical commands such as whoami, poweroff, and reboot. To ensure seamless operations:

• Binary Accessibility: Ensure that these command binaries are installed and accessible via $PATH.
• Sudo Permissions: Grant the SSH user the necessary permissions to execute these commands, either by adding specific entries to the /etc/sudoers file or by configuring BootBoi to use root access. This step is vital for executing powerful operations without restrictions.
