[Bug] SSH goes to default host when using `-o User` option. about orbstack HOT 4 CLOSED

Use user@machine_name as the value for User option, i.e. ssh -o User=root@ubuntu-01 orb.

from orbstack.

The entire part before @orb is the username, and so is the User option, so this is working as expected. That means the username is actually user@machine when you connect to user@machine@orb because OrbStack's SSH's server is multiplexed and provides access to all machines.

That makes sense, could the documentation for Ansible then be updated to reflect this? See: https://docs.orbstack.dev/machines/ssh#ansible.

It should be:

[servers]
ubuntu@orb  ansible_user=ubuntu@ubuntu

from orbstack.

Added a username + machine example to the docs.
