So, here's one of mine:
renogy0_/home/crichmon> cat .ssh/config
# hosts with more than two components are probably external
PubkeyAuthentication yes
# relax checking on internal hosts/networks # hopefully this list will not
grow and all new site's networks will be
Host 192.168.0.* 192.168.1.* 192.168.2.* 192.168.3.*
StrictHostKeyChecking no
Host *.chaos.home *.csrhome.home *.garage.home
StrictHostKeyChecking no
Host *.*
StrictHostKeyChecking yes
Not particularly interesting. I'd suggest looking at: man ssh_config
At the end of the day, this is not the likely problem. As you said, the
issue seems to be somewhat intermittent, so it isn't
a complete config failure, but something a bit harder to figure out.
Still, we need as many details as you can provide. One thing... You said
you are running weewx as userID pi.
Is that a fact or an assumption? How do you know? ps uaxw | grep weewx
will give that answer. Knowing that
will narrow down the possible problems. The other bit is how your rsync is
configured. We can sort-of see that
from the logs, but nothing is clear yet.
You still haven't provided the RSYNC config. One of mine is:
[[RSYNC]]
skin = Rsync
enable = false
server = router1
user = crichmon
path = /var/www/html/solar
delete = 0
Nothing secret here, at least for me. This one is internal to my network.
I don't actually have weewx push externally.
That's done elsewhere.
The other bit is the mystery of how ssh is set up for both ends of your
connection, and details of what happens
when running either ssh or rsync manually.
I'll step out here a bit:
renogy0_/home/crichmon> ls -la .ssh
drwx------ 2 crichmon crichmon 4096 Jul 19 12:50 .
drwxr-xr-x 14 crichmon crichmon 4096 Oct 29 15:57 ..
-rw------- 1 crichmon crichmon 1029 Aug 24 2019 authorized_keys
-rw------- 1 crichmon crichmon 415 Jul 19 12:50 config

-rw------- 1 crichmon crichmon 2558 Jul 7 2019 identity

The same from you might also eliminate a possible source of error. We'd
need this for all your users and all
ends of the connections, or at least confirmation that your permissions are
reasonable.
