no config after installing with apt

[rubo77]

I installed version 1.1-2 via apt on Ubuntu 20.04.

after install, there is only an empty folder /etc/endlessh

I added your config example from the Readme, changed the port to 2223 and restarted the service, but still there is no effect on that port when trying ssh -p 2223

Same here. Even after creating the config file manually, it seems to be ignored.

Have you fixed the issue? It has been working for me both on Ubuntu 20.04 and now Ubuntu 21.04. Though I am using Endlessh 1.1.

I'm using Ansible, but it could still be helpful:

I use a simple workaround; i changed my ssh-port and started a docker container for endlessh with port 22 forwarded to 2222 like this:
docker run -ti --restart=always -d --name endlessh -p 22:2222 ubuntu bash -c "apt-get update && apt-get install endlessh && endlessh -v"

But this doesn´t solve the problem with the ignored .config file.

what do the logs say? 22 is not the default port endlessh is listening on

I am not sure, what went wrong, I purged it and reinstalled it (endlessh_1.1-5), then it seems to work on Ubuntu 21.04

sudo apt purge endlessh
sudo rmdir /etc/endlessh
sudo apt install endlessh
sudo service endlessh start

$ ssh localhost -p 2222 -v

although there is again the empty folder in /etc/endlessh
