I would like to have a simple way to access my phone via SSH. I am already using a public key setup (both for nemo and root), but the main issue is determining its IP address. Currently I have to look it up in settings/developer mode every time (and the fact that it changes constantly generates lots of spurious "new server" warnings). Ideally I'd like to have a command line that Just Works, without the need to look it up manually.

Is there an easy solution to this problem? As far as I know Jolla does not support Zeroconf.

EDIT: I would didn't explain myself clearly probably, so I'd better change my formulation completely.

I am sitting in front of my laptop. I'd like to have a simple way to access my phone Jolla via SSH.

Problem: my phone's IP address changes depending on which network I am in (and some of these networks have DHCP). So I don't really know what to put instead of ???, unless I physically reach for my phone and find its IP (with ifconfig, or on the settings/developer mode every time (and the fact that it changes constantly generates lots of spurious "new server" warnings).
