Normally, I’d just edit the sshd_config and call it a day.
However, I presume that won’t stick since I’m on Silverblue.
How do I make an edit to something like sshd_config so that it will persist as things get upgraded?
Thanks.
The admin should be able to alter files under /etc. Thus changes to sshd_config should remain, though the preferred action on most systems would be to put a special config file under /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/ with the commands you wish to alter. Those files should never be altered by system updates.
On my system the sshd_config file contains a line that reads
Include /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/*.conf
which ensures all *.conf files in that directory are processed.
The sshd_config file contains text that tells the user how this should be done.

Changes made to /etc will persist on upgrade when using Silverblue; you can edit config files in that directory normally.

Good to know.
Side note: Did I mark that as a solution? I was going to set the “Solution” box but noticed it was already set for me?
Weird.
I marked the previous answer as the solution.
No problem. Thanks for doing that. It just caught me off guard.
