Changing fingerprint between container lifetimes

[DanielVoogsgerd]

I recently started using this docker container. Everything works perfectly fine, until I restart the docker container. Due to the nature of docker the fingerprint is regenerated and I get warnings that the fingerprint does not match. This is completely correct, but maybe not the desired behaviour.

Hey @DanielVoogsgerd, I'm glad you're using my image - I hope you like it (=

The dir /etc/ssh is declared as a volume in the Dockerfile - therefore the fingerprints should persist, as long as it is the same container.

In order to get the fingerprints surviving multiple container lifecycles, you could mount the /etc/ssh to a dir somewhere on your machine:

$ docker run --rm --volume /persist/fingerprints/here:/etc/ssh hermsi/alpine-sshd

Does this solution fit your requirements?

Best regards!

Thanks for the reply!

I assume that would persist more than just the host keys, right? Maybe also something to include in the README.md. I would gladly have helped, but I'm quite busy in the foreseeable future. My apologies.

Kind regards
