I installed centos 7 (aarch64), Then, after I started it, I get this :

I tried installing Arch Linux (aarch64), It work well. but centos doesn't.

[whoamiTM]

Same issue here... I tried using a different mirror for CentOS but it didn't help. But like you said, I install Debian and ssh starts right up. It seems that CentOS 7 is missing some packages...

Ok I got SSH to work... I had to use terminal emulator... First i had to yum-config-manager --disable centos-kernel because something is wrong with that repo, then yum upgrade then
yum install openssh openssh-server openssh-clients openssl-libs then yum install liblz4.so.1

Then start the service by exiting out of terminal emulator and starting the container through Linux Deploy.

service sshd restart wont work in chroot

CentOS 7 has some kind of issue with the centos-kernel repo and was missing openssh-server and liblz4.so.1

You can close this issue

Fixed in v2.1.1-240

I have this same issue on v.2.5.1. SSH refuses to start. What do I do? This is armhfp by the way. CentOS 7
