Werk #9640: Add option to provide SSH fingerprint when migrating a site

Component Firmware
Title Add option to provide SSH fingerprint when migrating a site
Date Dec 18, 2025
Level Trivial Change
Class New Feature
Compatibility Compatible - no manual interaction needed
Appliance Version 1.7.15

When migrating a site to the appliance the site data is pulled via SSH. Previously the host key was automatically accepted so a machine-in-the-middle attacker could provide a malicious SSH server and a malicious site.

With this Werk an option to provide a SSH fingerprint was added. If no fingerprint is given the previous behavior is applied and the host key is not checked. Also an option to specify the TCP port for the connection was added.
