So I tried setting up my headless pi with Raspbian like I usually do:

  • Flash Raspbian to µSD (using Etcher)

  • add zeroconf address to cmdline.txt (ip=169.254.10.1)

  • add empty file 'ssh' to boot partition without extension

But this time, when I try to ssh into my pi (ssh pi@169.254.10.1) it says:
ssh: connect to host 169.254.10.1 port 22: Connection refused

Anyone who knows what might be wrong?
(the steps mentioned above are the only ones I've done)

ssh is activated if there is an empty ssh file in the boot partition!
