Ssh key changed for sftp storage

Support
#1

I have changed the machine so the ssh key is now different. I removed the storage and tried to add it again but it won’t let me due to the ssh key mismatch.

How do I tell it to accept the new key in the webui?

#2

Delete the known_hosts file (or old host ID from that file).

Edit. Ah wait. Are you saying hostid changed or you generated a new key for authentication?

#3

host id (key fingerprint) changed.

#4

Yeah, delete known_hosts file.

Where is the file? It’s not in ~/.ssh/

#6

Somewhere under ~/.duplicacy_web/repositories

Or if you using my container — under /caches

#7

I’m afraid neither directory exists. I’m using your container:

/ # ls -la

find /cache -name known_hosts

#9

okay so there’s tons of known_hosts under /cache/localhost/[n]/.duplicacy/known_hosts

how do I know which ones to delete?

#10

Delete all of them :slight_smile:

find /cache -name known_hosts -delete

Edit. Or you can look into each file and delete the lines corresponding to the hostname of your server. But why bother.
