+## BBS / SSH access
+
+To enable simple command line interface accessible over ssh, add a setting like this to your configuration file:
+
+```exs
+app_dir = File.cwd!
+priv_dir = Path.join([app_dir, "priv/ssh_keys"])
+
+config :esshd,
+  enabled: true,
+  priv_dir: priv_dir,
+  handler: "Pleroma.BBS.Handler",
+  port: 10_022,
+  password_authenticator: "Pleroma.BBS.Authenticator"
+```
+
+Feel free to adjust the priv_dir and port number. Then you will have to create the key for the keys (in the example `priv/ssh_keys`) and create the host keys with `ssh-keygen -N "" -b 2048 -t rsa -f ssh_host_rsa_key`. After restarting, you should be able to connect to your Pleroma instance with `ssh username@server -p $PORT`
