I ran RSYNC with 4.10 with no problems. I've read and re-read the RSYNC docs for 4.10, 5.0, and 5.1
No success so I really appreciate any help. Ironically it looks like from the 5.0 documentation, if I had upgraded
from 4.10 rather than a clean 5.1 install, the installer would have kept my user "pi" and not "weewx", and i think i wouldn't
have these problems. I think my problem is the daemon user is "weewx" and I can't set up permissions for ssh with "weewx".
What I've done so far:
___________________________________________________
1. made fresh SD card with bookworm
2. logged in as user "pi"
3. fresh weewx install using apt install
4. set up weewx.conf:
[[RSYNC]]
enable = true
server = ZZZ.1and1-data.host
user = XXX
path = YYY/
5. ps aux | grep "weewx" (shows user weewx running weewxd)
weewx 6460 1.9 8.8 364336 81720 ? Ssl 12:46 10:30 python3 /usr/share/weewx/weewxd.py /etc/weewx/weewx.conf
6. ssh-keygen
7. ssh-copy-id x...@zzz.1and1-data.host
8. ssh'd to remote_server (success)
9. rsync'd test files to remote_server (success)
10. cp ~/.ssh/*.* /var/lib/weewx/.ssh
11. sudo chown weewx:weewx /var/lib/weewx/.ssh/*.*
-rwxrwx--- 1 weewx weewx 560 May 20 12:23 id_rsa.pub
-rw------- 1 weewx weewx 364 May 19 22:18 known_hosts
-rwxrwx--- 1 weewx weewx 142 May 20 12:23 known_hosts.old
12. weectl report run RSYNC (WORKS from user pi without error YAY)
13. running weewx via systemd, NO JOY. Here's the error message:
weewxd[6460]: ERROR weeutil.rsyncupload: rsync reported errors. Original command: ['rsync', '--archive', '--stats', '-e', 'ssh', '/var/www/html/weewx/', 'x...@zzz.1and1-data.host:YYY']

weewxd[6460]: ERROR weeutil.rsyncupload: **** rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(232) [sender=3.2.7]
From reading the above posts, and looking everywhere i can, i am pretty sure i haven't set up the weewx ssh key properly.
I can't find a config or .config file in my ~/.ssh directory, but rsync works as user pi, so that doesn't seem to be the problem.
How do I set up ssh for the weewx user? I copied my pi ssh files as instructed above (and as mentioned by vince) but that didn't work.
Thank you so much for any help.

Agree. My error there. I keep forgetting the weewx accounts $HOME for packaged installs is in an odd location. Thanks !

As correctly stated in https://groups.google.com/g/weewx-user/c/50VCTyL-Tpw/m/DgScCzIDAQAJ, the home directory for weewx is
/var/lib/weewx and not /home/weewx, so .ssh need to go into
/var/lib/weewx/.ssh

Thanks, Vince! I'm pretty sure I saw that link in my results, but the Ubuntu reference resulted in my continue scrolling. I will try your suggestion when I get back home!

If you google your exact error "Host key verification failed." and it will return what's going on....
The weewx-related answer is that you're using old notes that are still expecting the 'root' user on the weewx system to be the local user, which is no longer accurate. In v5 it is the 'weewx' user
(upgrade guide link). So it is very likely the host key of the remote computer is not known in the /home/weewx/.ssh/known_hosts file. Simplest way around this would be do append whatever is in your legacy /root/.ssh/known_hosts file to your /home/weewx/.ssh/known_hosts file.
