How To Start Openssh Server Ubuntu

Set SSH idle timeout Ubuntu 20.04. I want incoming ssh-sessions to automatically disconnect upon inactivity for a security-critical server. I would expect sshd not to send KeepAlive-Packages due to TCPKeepAlive and ClientAliveCountMax - and my sessions to timeout after 30 seconds. On top of that I think TCPKeepAlive could be left at its default. Install the openssh-server in order to perform an installation of the SSH server on your Ubuntu 20.04.

In case it was really a connection timeout you could just open the ssh config file
and change the line
but this is not the issue here!
As always stackoverflow gets straight to point even though detailed descriptions are missing. The solution is simple port forwarding. Just follow the steps:
- Turn off VM
- Go to settings -> network -> adapter1 -> advanced -> port forwarding
- Create an entry with Name: ForwardPort (could also be anything else), Protocol: TCP, Host-IP: 127.0.1.1, Host-Port: 2222 (could also be 22 or any other unbmer as long as not occupied already on host), Guest-IP: 10.0.2.15, Guest-Port: 22
- Confirm, start VM, log in. SSH server starts automatically.
- On host enter in terminal
And there we go! I logged in as user dome on my host ubu.
