Configuring openssh-server

I am installing Hestia Control Panel.
I run sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y.
It returned some options as attached when coming to Configuring openssh-server, I don’t know which one to choose.
Thanks!

Keep local installed version…

As a thumb rule, always use the locally installed configuration.

In this case, if you choose the package maintainer’s version of configuration, then all current configuration will be in use after restarting the SSH server. Ofcourse you can find the current one in the same directory having some extension like *.bak, etc.

If you choose this, you need to make sure that your connection to the server is not interrupted. So if you overwrite to a new one, you can modify the new sshd_config and restart the SSD server.

This step can be done later and is safer.

This choose local version as it will not trouble you and you can use the new config file later anyways.
