Less than a week ago, a server of mine rebooted due to an unannounced power outage. This particular server just stores some backups and didn’t have proper monitoring, I didn’t know it had rebooted. Normally mere unannounced power outages have me shitting bricks, switching hosts or at least extensively verifying the pre-boot environment.
Trying to SSH into the box I received the host key mismatch error because the server boots into dropbear for LUKS. It took me a few minutes to figure out what had happened, but until I did, I definitely fully assumed that my host was up to something really bad.
