Running FreedomBox on Trixie
dpkg -l | grep freedom
freedombox 26.6~bpo13+1
When I try to add an external backup repository it consistently fails, showing an error ‘Authentication to external server failed.’.
In the log file there’s an indication that something else is going wrong:

Any idea what’s going wrong here? Even when using password authentication ssh-copy-id is executed.
