Exclude SSH tor config from server restores #5833
Comments
Migration would be a heck of a lot simpler if we were to stop restoring SSH services, and just stick with what's new. The only downside would be that organizations with multiple administrators, each using their own Admin Workstation USB stick, would need to synchronize the new service info out of band. In all other circumstances, it's a lot simpler and more straightforward to reuse the new v3-only services created on the new host. |
For orgs doing the Focal migration over the next month or two who are not already on v3, they'll need to do that oob sync regardless. |
I'm gonna defer this to 1.9.0 unless there are objections. Sorting out the migration process took longer than expected, and it only saves a couple of steps in that process. It would save more if the client-side Tor config files were rebuilt as part of the process (as opposed to being manually copied into place) but that's a bit much to take on during the QA period. |

Description
SSH onion service configurations should not be restored from backups:
A migration without restoring ssh configs would look like:
tor_v3_keys.json

Anecdotal based on experience testing migration flows in 1.8.0-rc1
User Stories
As an admin, I want to be able to perform a restore or migration with minimal manual steps and without the risk of breaking SSH access and needing to fix it in person.
