Subject: [Wikitech-l] Gerrit: new SSH host key / fingerprint
To: Wikimedia developers <[email protected]>
Cc: Daniel Zahn <[email protected]>


Hello Gerrit users,

tomorrow, around 1800 UTC [1]; Gerrit will be getting a new SSH host key.

So when you interact with Gerrit via SSH you will see a new
fingerprint and might be asked if you trust it.

We have already added it to the known_hosts file provided by wmf-laptop.

You can also directly import the auto-generated known_hosts file if
you like. [2] or verify it on Wikitech [3] and adding it right here:

SHA256:njCmWMsshq3MqQxyIFO36UNwCwzTamXERqylF1XJhd8 ssh server at
gerrit.wikimedia.org (ED25519)

The old existing RSA key will stay valid in parallel until August 4th
when it will be removed.

The related ticket is T240266 [4].
