You can't reasonably expect most people who would register to a service over ssh and make backups with cUrl in a shell script to update their known_hosts file?

The instructions on the main page would change from:
ssh register@ui.baxx.dev
to something like
curl https://ui.baxx.dev/ssh_keys -o /tmp/baxx_ssh_keys
cat /tmp/baxx_ssh_keys
cat /tmp/baxx_ssh_keys >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts
rm /tmp/baxx_ssh_keys
ssh register@ui.baxx.dev
or in one line:
curl https://ssh_key.baxx.dev >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts && ssh register@ui.baxx.dev
- helper 8y agoThe author of this service didn't think it important to provide the ssh key and based on the comments in this thread people have already signed up for this service without caring about the key. So yes, I think even people who would use this service mostly can't be bothered to manually update their known_hosts file.
- marci 8y agoIn that sense then I agree with you. Edit: I thought you meant that, given the command, most would still not do it.
