I am trying to follow the numerous tutorials and gists such as:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48459804/how-can-i-ssh-to-google-colaboratory-vm/53252985#53252985
When I run the steps, it seems like everything went fine (I get the root password), but I do see this:
invoke-rc.d: could not determine current runlevel
invoke-rc.d: policy-rc.d denied execution of start.
but unfortunately, after all the steps when I do the following on my local machine:
ssh -p17057 root#0.tcp.ngrok.io
I get:
ssh: connect to host 0.tcp.ngrok.io port 17057: Connection timed out
I am on vanilla Debian Buster - any pointers to why this is happening would be incredibly useful to debug
thank you.
I also had trouble ssh'ing into the ngrok tcp tunnel. I was using my local laptop as the access point to the colab VM. What I did was fire up an EC2 instance on AWS and use that instead. Also, I used ssh reverse tunnel and dropped the need for ngrok altogether since the ec2 machine already had a public IP. Check my answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/63186681/4126114

Trying to setup ssh server on my WSL 2 for local development. I can connect to it from Putty but having trouble connecting from another machine in the same local network. I try to follow scripts from WSL GitHub Issue #4150 but I might not be able to modify the script well enough to make it work for the use case. I'm getting a connection timed out message error.
Thank you in advance.
There's an issue with SSH access today ? Don't know why I can't access to my instances today, from a MobaXterm or the SSH webinterface in Google Cloud (impossible to connect port 22).
From Google Cloud Shell => ssh: connect to host XXXX port 22: Connection timed out
Global issue or only my account ?
I would advise you to try the following and check if you are able to connect:
Can you able to ping or SSH into VM instance using gcloud command ?
Could you also try running cloud shell in safe mode.
If you are still running the issue after trying 2 methods, please try to restart the cloud shell (This can be done by selecting restart option from hamburger menu on top right of your Cloud shell) and see if that fixes.
You can interact with the serial console so you can more easily troubleshoot instances that are not booting properly or that are otherwise inaccessible.
Please let me know of the results.
I am trying to connect to my instance using gcloud compute ssh new-instance .. it's gives the following error:
ssh: connect to host 107.167.180.68 port 22: Connection refused
ERROR: (gcloud.compute.ssh) [/usr/bin/ssh] exited with return code [255].
See https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/troubleshooting#ssherrors for troubleshooting hints.
I had already tried all the possible solution mentioned in the google document.
Any suggestions on how to get a backup of the Database and file? The site has been down for the last two days
Thanks in advance
I'd recommend looking at the serial console output of the VM instance using gcloud compute instances get-serial-port-ouput or using "View serial port" button on the instance page in Cloud Console. That output should give you information about what is wrong with the VM, such as whether it runs out of memory or ran out of disk space or something like that. Also, make sure you didn't change the VM's network firewall rules to accidentally disallow incoming traffic on port 22.
The documentation page for SSH from the Browser also has some additional tips on how to explore this kind of issues - see here and here.
You can use the ssh keys with other instances of your account if you update the ssh keys in your metadata by
sudo gcloud compute config-ssh
I have a problem setting up a ipython cluster on a Windows server and connecting to this ipcluster using a ssh connection. I tried following the tutorial on https://ipython.org/ipython/doc/dev/parallel/parallel_process.html#ssh, but I have problems to understand what the options mean exactly and what parameters are to use exactly...
Could anyone help a total noob to set up an ipcluster? (Let's say the remote machine has ip 192.168.0.1 and the local machine has 192.168.0.2)
If you scroll roughly to the middle of the page https://ipython.org/ipython-doc/dev/parallel/parallel_process.html#ssh you will find this:
Current limitations of the SSH mode of ipcluster are:
Untested and unsupported on Windows. Would require a working ssh on Windows. Also, we are using shell scripts to setup and execute
commands on remote hosts.
That means, there is no easy way to build an ipcluster with ssh connection on windows (if it works at all).
Do you really need to connect the machines with an ssh connection? I guess it's possible with a ssh client on each windows machine, but if you are in a trusted local network you can also decide not to use the loopback interface and just expose the ports...
Sure you can start controller and engine separately! For further examples about ports (if you have problems with firewalls) see also How to setup ssh tunnel for ipython cluster (ipcluster)
I'm playing with Google Compute Engine(GCE) as I'm planning to migrate the cloud service provider from Rackspace(reason: GCE has good upgrade plans with best discount price).
I have few issues with GCE and one of them is Ubuntu os/image not supported by default. But there is an alternate method to run any linux distro in GCE, which is called Building an image from scratch for uploading custom images and creating instances(servers) from uploaded image.
I could able to create and run the instances from the Ubuntu image I uploaded to GCE following the link hagikuratakeshi.hatenablog.com. This is simply running ubuntu in general. I didn't face any problem but google's gcutil tool prompts for ssh passphrase and adds the key in GCE meta data but accepts only password logins(then why it prompts for passphrase).
I want to strictly follow Building an image from scratch as recommended by google. But after following all the steps, I could not able to login to my server instance via SSH. I guess this happens when I install Google Compute Engine image packages: google-startup-scripts_1.1.2-1_all.deb, google-compute-daemon_1.1.2-1_all.deb & python-gcimagebundle_1.1.2-1_all.deb. These packages/scripts make some changes to the instance at the startup and also to SSH configuration which are Strongly recommended. Once I strictly follow the link or once I install these packages I could not able to establish SSH connection once the instance is rebooted. The error message similar to the one below is shown while trying to connect:
test#machine1:~$ gcutil --service_version="v1" --project="mypro-555" ssh --zone="asia-east1-a" "server-instance-1"
INFO: Running command line: ssh o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -o CheckHostIP=no -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -i /home/test/.ssh/google_compute_engine -A -p 22 test#101.167.xxx.xxx -
ssh: connect to host 101.167.xxx.xxx port 22: Connection refused
NOTE: The user account test is available and common on both local and GCE server!.
My main problem is SSH connection when I strictly follow the steps. If I upload the fresh image and then follow the recommended steps connecting SSH, I could not do SSH again once I restart the instance (or) if I setup everything in the uploaded image before uploading, the created instance will be running but I could not able to connect atleast ones and the error is same.
Anybody using GCE with your custom image?, are you allowed to connected even after following the recommended settings?. Anyone already fixed this SSH issue?. Please post your comments!
EDIT 1
I could not figure out from the logs and here is the output of gcutil getserialportoutput server-instance-1.
The key here is that your ssh client says "connection refused". This indicates that there is indeed a machine at that IP address, but it's not accepting SSH connections. There are a few possible explanations:
The ssh daemon isn't running, or is listening on the wrong interface
Your instance is configured with a firewall that's denying SSH traffic
The GCE firewall rule to allow SSH traffic has been removed
