Thank you so much for this clear and easy-to-follow video! I followed your installation steps and successfully forwarded the guest port 22 to another port on host

[@user-hh8qr8lx8p]

You're the best bro, you make really focused and accurate content without any other extra stuff, keep the good work up

@@TonyTeachesTech Could you teach how to install a web server on the ubuntu and have access to it anywhere in the world... just like using Vultr but instead doing it locally

What are your thoughts on InMotion Hosting ?

[@rosenvalentinov249]

Hello, can you tell me how to make outside ssh connect to this virtual server ?

[@recklessvelociraptor2579]

and how can i make it so I can connect to it from my notebook which connected via wifi to the same network in which pc with virutal machine is?

[@marcelohx]

THAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANKS

[@nitrogenius]

if you stil get connection refused message check your windows firewall settings or another app that using port 22. For me it was xamp

[@LekkyDev]

how did you fix the ssh connection error? did you delete the known_hosts file?

[@andrebetancourt8830]

I have the problem that I followed all the steps in the video, but when I try to connect via ssh I get the error ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused. I configured the network part the same with port 22

[@P3kkhyu]

Same error. Anyone fix it?

[@user-un1nl9km9v]

Good Day Tony, I need your assistance please. Is it possible for me to install aapanel on Ubuntu running on a VitualBox...? If yes I will need to guide me thru the processing like what and what will like again because I have installed Ubuntu on VirtualBox thanks

[@pjj7466]

I've always wondered how people run virtual servers on their Windows laptops using VirtualBox. However, when I tried the same, I ended up with the Ubuntu GUI interface. Today, I found out that I should have chosen the Ubuntu Server version instead of Ubuntu Desktop. 😂 How foolish of me. Thanks, mate.

[@TonyTeachesTech]

Sure thing :)

[@25kwame]

minute 5.45 I have Cancel update and Reboot instead of Reboot now. When I choose that, it enters in "Rebooting" infinitly. Any idea to solve it ?

[@isljack3117]

but how to set my own resolution (1920x1080)? It's not so convenient to work in 800x600

[@Javaman92]

I figured out everything except when I go to ssh into the server from my Ubuntu desktop I get Permission denied, please try again. That I have not figured out yet.

[@MrVitaliyAT]

Try login to server trough Putty and got: "No supported authentication methods available (server sent: publickey)"

[@Codebyakshay]

can u also teach us how to point A Record of domain to that ubuntu server?

[@TonyTeachesTech]

Check this out kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5Sxc3-JiNNrjMk

[@user-ws7wh8kz8h]

I followed your precise, but when it asked for my password on my terminal, it said this Permission denied; please try again

[@tonyd6853]

Are you on an intel mac in 2023?

[@omo.tstarboy3690]

The volume is not coming out... I can't hear anything... I'm I the only one ?

[@anuragshukla-tn3ux]

Is there any way to access that VM from another machine ?

[@vladimirnicolescu1342]

Using the SSH key of the VM or the IP adress. Accesssing it from another machine is pretty much the whole point of the system. Managing a server remotely 👍🏻

[@KomentarSaya]

still cannot login using ssh, may you show your /etc/hosts sir ? 1 name = jammy 2 server name = jellyfish 3 username = jammy 4 password = jammy ssh jammy@jellyfish Permission denied, please try again.

[@KomentarSaya]

ssh jammy@localhost Permission denied, please try again.
