Cannot access Karaf console?

Setup, Configuration and Use Installation
1

I am on Ubuntu Linux 22.04.3 and am running OH 4.0.4 and Openhabian.

I just noticed, that I cannot access the Karaf console (anymore). These are my error messages;

martin@openhabian:~$ ssh openhab:localhost -p 8081
ssh: Could not resolve hostname openhab:localhost: Name or service not known
martin@openhabian:~$ ssh openhab:127.0.0.1 -p 8081
ssh: Could not resolve hostname openhab:127.0.0.1: Name or service not known

I find this strange, as I have occacionally used the console in the past - but cannot remember if I have migrated my OH-installation to a new environment in the meantime (I know I have - but dont remember if I have used the console since).

Anyone with a good idea on how to resolve this ?

What about using

openhab-cli console

Btw, it is well documented that openHABian is not supported to run on other distributions than debian based….
It might work, but it also might throw errors…

Thanks ! - works !
I know about the support issue on other distributions than debian - but this is the first time I have had any issue with any of my OH-installations on Ubuntu.

when working withe the “openhab-cli console” command it works too, but I get this (boring) warning message:

hab3@oh3ssd:~ $ openhab-cli console

Did you use the port-adress 8081 or 8101 ?

Edit: … and no colon between “openhab” and “localhost” but at-sign “@”

Now that is what I call help :wink: - I ran through my original question and could indeed see that i had used “:” instead of @ between the openhab and localhost…
Now it works here as well. Thanks for help to clairify this !
