Following the steps from the repo mentioned here, I attempted to run the SSH connection command, but it said: ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.1 port 22: Connection timed out. Any ideas?

Connection Timed Out Error with SSH Command
NateDhaliwal encountered a Connection timed out error while running the SSH connection command from the official Discourse installation instructions. simon suggested using tmux or screen to resolve the issue, but NateDhaliwal chose to skip the step and continued with the installation without errors.
merefield clarified that SSH is only necessary when remotely logging into the Pi from another machine. Since NateDhaliwal was working directly on the Pi, skipping the SSH step was acceptable.
Do I still have to run the SSH command at all if I am running it on a Pi?
Can you install tmux or screen on the Pi? I haven’t used
screen, but I’ve used tmux to deal with the connection timeout issues in the past. You don’t have to become a tmux super user to use it: Getting Started · tmux/tmux Wiki · GitHub
Well, I just skipped it and there isn’t any errors so far. I’m at the email stage now and there doesn’t seem to be any error messages.
If you are ON your pi, then there is no need to SSH into it. It’s only if/when you are remotely logging into your pi from another machine that you’d need it.
This guide is targeted at VPS installs and you are necessarily remote in the usual circumstance.
Right. Thanks for the explanation!
