Cannot login in ssh after first install

Troubleshooting
1

Hi community,

let’s start by saying that this is not my first time using dietpi, but I’m at a loss and I know you will help me find the solution.

Basically I’ve made a new installation for my new Raspberry pi Zero 2W (using the correct image and flashing it with Balena as recommended) but after i startup the raspberry (headless, I’ve no way to connect it to a monitor) I cannot connect with ssh.

I’ve found the IP address of the raspberri and trying to connect with

ssh dietpi@IPADDRESS

but i get as answer “Port 22 connection refused”. I’ve already verified that the IP is not duplicate on the network, and if I try to connect with ssh to my Raspberry Pi 4B or my 5 both running dietpi on fixed addresses i can without any problem.

I don’t really know how to debug it, have you some idea?

Thanks in advance,

without access to the system, this is not possible. Are you 100% sure IP address is correct?

3

yes, powering off the pi make only that IP disappear.

without log or screen access, it’s quite impossible to debug this.
