Made upgrade from elixir-1.15 OTP-25. to 1.17.2 OTP-27

My application on rpi still working :slight_smile:
I can do ./upload
I can use sftp
and even run elixir command use
macOS> ssh address command

But my tries to start remote IEx
macOS> ssh address
return: Connection address closed.

I follow documentation:
In vm.args.eex change
-run elixir start_iex.
To
-run elixir start_cli

Thx

If you run the ssh command with RingLogger.next after a failed login maybe you can get some details. I am pretty sure I’ve run roughly these versions with no issue but will try it if you don’t find anything :slight_smile:

This is actually related to the nerves_ssh version and not the nerves version.

What version of nerves_ssh are you using? You’ll need >= 1.0.0. There were changes to how Elixir 1.17 would start a shell that needed to be adjusted in newer versions of nerves_ssh lib.
