Hi!
I just did a fresh installation of dietpi.
Unfortunately I can only login to the Pi using the console.
Investigations have shown, that droptbear does not start successfully.
In the logs I can only see:
“dropbear.service: Control process exited, code=exites status=1”
“Failes to start LSB: Lightweight SSH server.”
How can I troubleshoot that issue?
Best regards,
Olaf

Change to openssh from dietpi-config

Thanks!
I installed OpenSSH and after that switched back to dropbear. Now SSH-access is running properly!

Glad to hear this is working as it should be again! 🙂
