I have multiple tips:

  • flash the imager with a Raspberry Pi imager template (ensuring settings are saved for a next time you use the imager)
  • clear your ssh known hosts file (or at least the lines that involve monsterpi) : it will or might block unknown ssh fingerprints, which is what happens with a fresh monsterpi install, since the SSH host fingerprint likely changes.
  • (opinion) use MobaXTerm, or VSCode SSH but not Putty. Putty is a bit clunky imho.
  • consider or try out RealVNC (its nice and free/freemium) alternative to ssh
  • upgrade MonsterPi FDM Monster using the internal updater script
  • use ping monsterpi.local to test the Pi to be up and running
  • use a network scanner like Fing to detect up-and-running devices like a Raspberry Pi. Often it recognizes the Manufacturer of such devices and offers pinging on opened ports (like 80 or 4000)
