Hello all,
We currently have a planned feature to clean up/improve our config format for
known (remote) machines:
https://trello.com/c/WSEOANNY/268-finalize-machines-json-format
This is a bit thin and not easy to understand/rationalize. So I took this plus
what I remembered from last week's discussion plus some thoughts what would
make sense and wrote a draft for what we want to achieve and how it should look
like:
https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/wiki/Config-format-for-known-m...
I'd appreciate some feedback about whether this makes sense, and opinions about
the per-user → global SSH host key transfer [1].
Thanks!
Martin
[1] My personal opinion is that we should not second-guess what SSH does and
STOP doing it.
