[SOLVED] Default password for Arm SSH?

Hello.   i downloaded and flashed rpi-2+3-devuan-excalibur-6.12.92-armhf and can ssh to my device.

What is the default password?  so far I tried root, devuan, pi....  I tried search but came up with nothing for default log in via ssh

thank you

zou could try root toor
or root 1234
but first probably you would need to enable ssh on the machine since with devuan it could be that it is not enabled by default (as it is easy to setup for raspberry pios)

fyi
ssh root@<ipaddress>
password is not "toor" - at least on the image I am trying

if you have given already your own, ti is yours.

Re: [SOLVED] Default password for Arm SSH?

Thanks.  I am headless so ssh is my only option.  "1234" fails also.   It was an experiment with a spare rpi 3b+ so I will wait and see if the images have any default ssh log in to test.  Chicken or egg, catch 22, lol

My goal is replacing dietpi unbound pihole to devuan unbound pihole

Re: [SOLVED] Default password for Arm SSH?

thank you!  I did not see that.   devuan:'devuan' worked to ssh in.  Messing around with it.

Re: [SOLVED] Default password for Arm SSH?

i am using somethimes adguard on my miinimall image arm64 pine-a64 running minimal armbian or devuan, like ti better than pihole, but then i uninstall again,since the added value is minimal for my setup; and it adds abit latency;

also it is easier to install;

the raspberry 3 still have a libreelec use soemtimes, since i have bought mpeg-keys for  1-2-3.

Re: [SOLVED] Default password for Arm SSH?

I am spoiled by dietpi and raspian....   how about expanding the card on the devuan system?   I may be missing the option on menu-config??

I have a 32GB card installed on my 3b+.   As for pihole, I know how to set it up with unbound which has been working well.  I am not a fan of installing unbound on my openwrt router.,

And - thank you for such a fast reply - you got me running

Re: [SOLVED] Default password for Arm SSH?

Thank you.  i have my devuan 6 Unbound pihole running on a RPI 3B+

in /etc/unbound/unbound.conf.d
added
devuan-port.conf

server:
	port: 5335

as well as the unbound instructions to pi-hole.conf from
https://docs.pi-hole.net/guides/dns/unbound/

everything is working!
