I apologize if similar questions have been posted before, but I have not found anything recent and am really banging my head against the wall. I have rsync set-up but it still prompts for passwords for weewx or root users, although the key pair works fine for me as user. I have run keygen as weewx and as root. It looks like it saves root in the /root/.ssh directory but it saves weewx in the /var/lib/weewx/.ssh directory. I have copied the relevant public keys to the authorized keys file for the user on the remote server I am connecting to. Still no luck. I saw very old postings about a config file, but cannot figure out what that is or find recent documentation of what that might be or where that should go.
Any help would be much appreciated! I am running weewx on Ubuntu 24.02.02 VM installed via APT. It is using the weewx user to run. My weather station is a WS5000-IP connected through the GX1000 driver. The Weewx version is 5.10.
