Proxmox 7 - LXC SSH Root login not working

[lps90]

Hello

I installed Proxmox 7 and created a LXC container with Debian 10.7.
I edited the sshd_config so i can connect with root user and restarted ssh service.
SSH is working and i can connect as root.
If i restart the container i can not connect with root user anymore.
I need to use "service ssh restart" command everytime i restart my lxc container so i can login with root.

Why is this happening with Proxmox 7?
(in my Proxmox 6.4 with the same configuration it is working like a charm, no problems at all... but Proxmox 7 seems to be full of problems, including this one...)

If someone can help me, i'll be grateful.
thanks

 

[lps90]

Anyone can help?
I already reinstalled Proxmox 7 but this seems to be a general problem and it is still happening the same.

How did you create a LXC with Debian 10? Afaik LXC uses the underlying OS, so that should be Debian 11.
The create container dialog doesn't even give you an OS option like the create VM option.

When you create a LXC it gives you the option at the beginning to upload a ssh public key file.

 

[leesteken]

I believe Debian disables root ssh login by default. Yuu can use pct enter $VMID from the Proxmox host console to enter the LXC as root and change the /etc/ssh/sshd_config to allow root login.

can you try to enable ssh service on the container: systemctl enable ssh

 

[fabian]

you can check with pct enter XXX whether the ssh service is running after you start the container. possibly it is not enabled, and thus not started at boot? a restart will also start a not-yet-running service.

what?
I downloaded Debian 10.7 lxc image from proxmox templates and installed (like in proxmox 6).
In proxmox 6 you just need to install it, edit the ssh to allow root login and restart ssh service...
SSH root connections will always work with no problems even after restarting the container xD

I think you didnt read what i described with attention.
you're telling me to do what i already had done

 

[lps90]

can you try to enable ssh service on the container: systemctl enable ssh

It is already enabled by default.
This is only happening with proxmox 7 (proxmox 6 works with no problems exactly with the same configuration / steps).

 

[lps90]

you can check with pct enter XXX whether the ssh service is running after you start the container. possibly it is not enabled, and thus not started at boot? a restart will also start a not-yet-running service.

It is enabled by default but i can not connect with root.
i alway need to access with proxmox panel console and run "service ssh restart" command so i can login with root (really stupid)

 

[fabian]

then check the logs inside the container - there must be something in there that indicates why you have to do those steps..

 

[lps90]

I've a friend with a soyoustart dedicated machine and proxmox 7 that is facing exactly the same problem,
so seems to be a general issue.
Can you tell me the correct command to check it?

 

[fabian]

journalctl -b inside the container would be a start.

Anything that can be causing the problem?

 

[fabian]

yeah, your SSH server seems to be socket activated:

Aug 02 14:44:55 test systemd[1]: Listening on OpenBSD Secure Shell server socket.

once you connect you should see system starting an instance for your connection (I just double-checked and this works with the Buster 10.7 template without any issues here..)

so try to connect, and post the journal output again.

@fabian Here is again...

Currently all my Proxmox 7 problems are solved.
This is the only one that i cant manage to solve
If i host this same container in a failover ip, it works, but using the dedicated server default ip,
i can not login as root after restarting the lxc container.

do you mean you assign the container the same IP as the hypervisor host?

@fabian

Let me explain again...

I've an OVH server machine with 1 default ip and 16 failover ips.
I installed 1 lxc container with Debian 10.7 template that is present in the proxmox templates repository.
Then i tested with default server ip and with failover ips (using the virtual mac address).

-default dedicated server ip = ssh root login not working after restarting the container
-All failover ips = no ssh root login problems

Proxmox 6.4 = Working with no problems.
Proxmox 7 = The lxc container ssh root login problem i described.

Could this be a part of the issue? Sounds like pam_systemd can't log you in because no VTs are available. May be related to this, somehow.

I've tried creating a new Debian 10.7 container with the official template, and like for Fabian it worked just fine for me.
