Greetings,

I have a host that keeps saying the ECDSA host key has changed. Usually, I can edit the known\_hosts file, but I am not sure where to find it with the docker images.

Can someone point in the right direction?

You should ascertain why this keeps happening as it’s not ‘normal’ behaviour.

You can do something at the Project SCM level, drop an ansible.cfg file into the repo with

[defaults]  
host\_key\_checking = False

but this is a sticking plaster over the real issue.
