+Welcome to the WissKI SSH Server.
+You've successfully authenticated, but we don't provide shell access to
+the main server. You may use this connection as part of a proxy jump to
+connect to your WissKI Instance.
+
+In the following we will provide instructions on how to connect to your
+distillery instance via this server. We will assume
+
+${SLUG}
+
+is the name of the WissKI you want to you want to connect to.
+
+From a linux (or mac, or windows 11) command line you may use: 
+
+ssh -J ${DOMAIN}:2222 www-data@${HOSTNAME}
+
+You may also place the following into your $HOME/.ssh/config file:
+
+Host *.${DOMAIN}
+  ProxyJump ${DOMAIN}.proxy
+  User www-data
+Host ${DOMAIN}.proxy
+  User www-data
+  Hostname ${DOMAIN}
+  Port 2222
+
+and then connect simply via:
+
+ssh ${HOSTNAME}
+
+On windows you should use the "ssh" executable from the command line if
+available. 
+
+If you must, you can also use Putty. 
+
+THIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED AND NOT OFFICIALLY SUPPORTED
+
+First make sure your SSH Key is configured under Connection > Auth > 
+Credentials. Then configure a proxy under Connection > Proxy. The Proxy 
+Hostname should be
+
+${DOMAIN}
+
+and the port "2222". The proxy type should be "SSH to proxy and use
+port forwarding". Then you may enter the hostname 
+
+www-data@${HOSTNAME}
+
+with port 22. 
+
+Press CTRL-C to close this connection.
