Hi,
I have my RPI 4 working as a server for some docker containers for a couple of months now, it runs ubuntu server on a ssd connected through a sata-usb adapter (so no sd card). Today after an update (apt update && apt upgrade), it mentioned it needed a restart. Which I did, since then, I can't ssh into it anymore, I always get 'connection refused'.
The odd thing is that I can still ping it, and it definitely is the pi I'm pinging, I checked the arp cache, and the ip still points to the mac address of my pi. I don't have a micro-hdmi adapter to attach a monitor, I ordered one. But in the meantime, what are some steps I can currently take to check what's going on?
