Re: "Hi all. Once I moved to another distro I can't seem to ssh..."
Yikes! Did you forget to copy your .ssh directory before blowing it away?

Doesn't your-server.de offer some way to open a vnc session to the TTY or something? if so, just reboot the host, and when booting edit the cmdline to add init=/bin/sh, and then add your ssh key and halt -f (IIRC), and then boot again.

@stack No, I didn't, I moved the thing to an external drive, the whole .ssh folder, seemed good to go, but it didn't work out for some reason

Er.. thank you, it's too late by now

@Yretek if you have your .ssh folder, why don't you just copy the cert back in place to your new install? Maybe you'll have to configure something in ssh_config in /etc/ssh/ or maybe something is interfering with your ability to connect in your known_hosts in that .ssh folder iirc

Few things, you might want to just backup the old certificate so it does not confuse people. Maybe setup a PGP key so you can prove you are the owner / control the new stuff you are setting up. Can be useful.
Hi all. Once I moved to another distro I can't seem to ssh to my server. I'm considering tearing down the old server (I have a copy of everything) and set up a new one. Meaning yretek.com might change its certificates. Just so you know
