Strict host checking tries to make sure that you're not connecting to an imposter computer using the same ip address as the one you're trying to connect to. What rsync is doing is saying "hey - I don't know who that remote system is, is this ok?" and asking for verification. Very normal ssh behavior.
If you're building a docker container to run weewx, you could have your container build proces create its ~/.ssh/known_hosts file with the host key for the system you typically connect to, if you have stable host keys on the system you're rsync'ing to (which is usually the case). That's a far more secure way of doing things. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
