SSH
### Describe your issue
Bonjour,
PVE 9.1.2
LXC Yunohost 12.1.36 stable - installé via [Proxmox VE Helper-Scripts](http://community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/scripts?id=yunohost&category=Operating+Systems)
Bonjour, j’essaye de changer le port SSH par defaut 22 par un autre (22222 par exemple).
Ca ne fonctionne pas : lorsque je tape la commande yunohost specifique tout semble bien se passer mais le port ne change pas…
Auriez-vous une idée ? je me demande si proxmox n’interfere pas dans cette configuration mais je ne trouve rien de ce coté non plus.
Merci !

La commande ne semble pas aller à son terme et le pare-feu devrait être rechargé.
Peux-tu lancer
```auto
sudo yunohost regen-conf --dry-run --with-diff
```
?

Oui. Tu peux le lancer avec `--force`, cela peut suffire. Il faudrait peut-être aussi voir si cela renvoie qqch pour nftables et fail2ban.

Car le pare-feu n’a pas été rechargé. `yunohost firewall reload`
Lance `sudo yunohost tools regen-conf nftables fail2ban` et regarde si cela renvoie qqch.
Essaie aussi `systemctl restart yunohost-api`, je pense que cela doit recharger -entre autres- le parefeu.

merci !
via l’interface web je peux voir qu’aucune regle n’a ete ajoutée pour le port 22222
et j’ai toujours :
`ssh: connect to host ``xxx.ynh.fr`` port 22222: Connection refused`
alors que (et ca continue à marcher via le port 22):
`sushi@miniyuno:~$ cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config | grep “Port”`
`Port 22222`

`sudo yunohost tools regen-conf nftables fail2ban` ne donne aucun message
`sudo` `systemctl restart yunohost-api` non plus
la regle du pare-feu 22222 a bien ete créée mais la connection passe toujours par le port 22 dans mon terminal

Estce que proxmox pourrait interferer dans ces reglages ?

Je ne crois pas, non. Essaie de voir si tu peux changer le port depuis la webadmin.

Ce que je veux dire par là, c’est que tu ne pourras pas savoir si les modifications faites fonctionnent si tu n’essaies pas la commande avec un autre port. Si 22222 est déjà enregistré partout, il est normal que tu n’aies que `Success! Config updated as expected`

Ok, je comprends. J’ai changé le port via webadmin pour 22022, pas d’erreur en sauvegardant et le pare-feu a correctement créé la regle pour ce port.
voir [https://paste.yunohost.org/raw/lenilenuhu](https://paste.yunohost.org/raw/lenilenuhu)
Cependant toujours `port 22022: Connection refused` et par contre ca passe en 22
J’ai fait un `sudo systemctl restart yunohost-api` mais ca ne change rien

Oui, là, c’est bizarre car j’imagine que tu as bien 22022 dans `/etc/ss/sshd_config`?
Est-ce que `systemctl restart ssh` change qqch ?
