Just installed clean HASSBian 1.3.2 on rpi 3b+ but couldn’t get SSH to run.
the fix (from https://www.reddit.com/r/raspberry_pi/comments/704v5y/ssh_connection_refused_off_a_headless_setup/ ):
log in directly using keyboard and monitor
sudo rm /etc/ssh/ssh_host* sudo dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server
this deletes the faulty ssh keys and creates new ones.
Not sure if the faulty keys are in the image, or due to my inept installation however.
a brand new hassbian image shouldn’t have any SSH keys installed or necessary.
All you should have to do is find your IP address and log into a terminal session with user pi & password raspberry.
You will then need to set up your own SSH keys.
Unless something drastic has changed lately…
No idea - I downloaded the 1.3.2 image, wrote it to a new card, and plugged it in. It is possible I rebooted at the wrong time, but no reason that the ssh_host files on the system would have timestamps for March (rather than July), and a zero size.
But, it could have been me. Either way, this fix worked for me. And may help others.
I’d raise a possible issue against the project on github, but there isn’t an issues tag.
just rerolled the image (screwed something up) - worked first time. how strange.
