Verify SSH host key fingerprint for ssh.hf.space

Beginners
1

Hello,

I’m trying to establish a secure SSH connection to my Space RomanMaloev/space to back up its SQLite database.

My SSH client displays this ED25519 host fingerprint:

SHA256:hDOLEkms3mtv/Nkk1Nanj2qb1aHuOJWWE1nv1DfIZ5I

Could a Hugging Face team member confirm whether this fingerprint is authentic, or point me to an official trusted source for verification?

Thank you!

Don’t let any forum post settle this for you — including this one: the prompt exists so the trust decision happens off the channel you’re about to trust. What can settle it is agreement across independent paths. From a separate network just now, the key ssh.hf.space actually presents fingerprints to SHA256:hDOLEkms3mtv/Nkk1Nanj2qb1aHuOJWWE1nv1DfIZ5I — the same string your client shows. Run the same check from one more path you control (ssh-keyscan -t ed25519 ssh.hf.space | ssh-keygen -lf -) and compare character for character; if every path agrees, accept it once and let known_hosts pin it — from then on, any change warns you loudly, which is where the real protection lives. If any read ever differs, stop and don’t connect.
