1. The problem
2. The workaround
1 The problem
=============
Whenever I'm trying out a new operating system I start a SSH daemon so
that I can execute commands and I get the output in my main system
where I have a more proper workflow for editing text, reporting issues
and sending emails. I'm wondering how I can start the ssh daemon in
the RDE live image. I've tried the following commands with no avail.
I tried
,----
| sudo herd start ssh
`----
,----
| herd: service 'ssh' could not be found
| zsh: exit 1 sudo herd start ssh
`----
I also tried
,----
| sudo herd start sshd
`----
,----
| herd: service 'sshd' could not be found
| zsh: exit 1 sudo herd start sshd
`----
I also tried
,----
| sudo herd start ssh-daemon
`----
,----
| herd: service 'ssh-daemon' could not be found
| zsh: exit 1 sudo herd start ssh-daemon
`----
In my other system, where I have Guix installed I can start it by
executing any of the following commands
,----
| sudo herd start ssh && echo $?
`----
,----
| 0
`----
,----
| sudo herd start sshd && echo $?
`----
,----
| 0
`----
,----
| sudo herd start ssh-daemon && echo $?
`----
,----
| 0

2 The workaround
================
In order to get the output of some commands, what I do is to install
rsync in the system running the RDE live image and save the output to
a file which I then transfer to my main system using `rsync'. However,
it would be more convenient if I could connect to the system running
the RDE live image using ssh. My question is: Why isn't it as simple
as running `sudo herd start sshd' as I am able to do it in the Guix
live image?
Thanks for the information. I'll try to install rde on a foreign distro
then. I guess it will be easy to install it as a full system
installation once I get used to the basics of rde.
I still wonder what could be the different benefits between using rde in
a foreign distro and using the live image.

It was not the use case we are expected, but including ssh daemon to
live image make sense, it's not included right now, but maybe we will
add it in the next release.
