you need to run "sudo systemctl start ssh, then sudo systemctl enable ssh if the status came back as dead (inactive)

Thank you very much. This was helpful. Now I don't have to sit on the floor next to my linux station.

You have no idea the miracle you just did...this problem slowed me down when i was learning Ansible...i tried everything..UFW PORT ENABLING just unlocked everything

As an enthusiastic but not overly technical dabbler in Linux, I’d always assumed SSH was way beyond me. But thank you for making it look so simple, simple things but put a smile on my face when I logged into my Ubuntu machine from my UnRAID terminal :-)

Thank you!

Hey Eloy, thanks for the video, it served as a great refresher. I am not as young as I would like to be, and my memory does not seem to function as it used to. I gave you a like and subscribed. Will join next month, as my finances are limited and fixed (social security). Again, much thanks ;)

[jardyparty]

Perfect, exactly what I was looking for - thank you!

Does this technique work in NAT? I've noticed that NAT uses different IP address (inet 10.0.2.15/24) while Bridge Adaptor uses 192.168.x.x ip. Also the Ubuntu must be configured to use static IP address. Please comment if this is correct or am I just imagining?

Thank you for the tutorial, but I have a problem, when trying the connection it says "permission denied(publickey)"
I am using latest ubuntu server for arm in a Pi4

At 00:46, it says, "All commands are in the description." The video description does not contain any commands.

[user_hinth]

Thanks a lot for your tutorial. Praise to the Almighty Allah, It's working properly.

Hey great video i didnt know about the ufw allow ssh, but my question is i use virtual box where every machine's ip is the same as the setting is NAT, what setting should i use for it to work?

[marlonnoto]
