I have deployed my own GitLab server on an Azure vm. I was trying to mirror an existing Azure DevOps repository into a GitLab one. I have followed the normal procedure: going to /settings/repository#js-push-remote-settings on GitLab. Expanding the mirroring panel. I enter my git repo ssh URL ssh://git@ssh.dev.azure.com/v3/xxx/xxx/xxx here I replaced the original : by / in front of the v3 I then added the public key generated by GitLab into my Azure DevOps public key. When triggering the mirroring, I am getting the following error. Host key verification failed. fatal: Could not read from remote From my research, it is a fingerprint issue. However, how can I validate this fingerprint?

To verify the remote GitLab server SSH key , you could manually record the SSH key by running ( issue 8867 ) ssh-keyscan -t rsa ssh.dev.azure.com >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts It is a good idea to check if the output of that command matches the server SHA256 fingerprint mentioned by the web page of your repository, as in here :

I was trying to mirror an existing Azure DevOps repository into a GitLab one.

I have followed the normal procedure:

going to /settings/repository#js-push-remote-settings on GitLab.
Expanding the mirroring panel.

I enter my git repo ssh URL

ssh://git@ssh.dev.azure.com/v3/xxx/xxx/xxx

here I replaced the original : by / in front of the v3
I then added the public key generated by GitLab into my Azure DevOps public key.

When triggering the mirroring, I am getting the following error.

From my research, it is a fingerprint issue.

However, how can I validate this fingerprint?
