Can't connect to Nextcloud or SSH but can connect to Webmin

Troubleshooting
1

Setup first: I’m running dietpi as a virtual machine in VMWARE Workstation Pro 17. On dietpi I’m running Nextcloud and OpenSSH server. Until recently everything was fine and I could access them locally using the IP address and port or remotely using DuckDNS. Today I tried to log on both locally and remotely and nothing works. To further complicate things, Webmin works just fine, locally and remotely. I can also SSH into dietpi through the terminal in Webmin. I know the SSH service is running. For the life of me I can’t find how to check Nextcloud. I’ve confirmed the IP address configured at DuckDNS is still valid.

So, how can I troubleshoot SSH and Nextcloud, or if anyone has had this trouble and wants to just give me a magic bean to make it work I’d be happy with that as well.

Thanks in advance.

any reason for not using our trouble shooting template?

You can check services running and ports available

dietpi-services status
ss -alnp | grep LISTEN

Honestly, I was in a hurry.

Here’s a screenshot of dietpi-services. I see SSH running as well as mariadb which I assume is part of Nextcloud. But still, nothing.

I tried running the ss command but got an error back. I think it was related to my being logged in as root.

Thanks for answering.

especially as user root it should be working fine.
