What's New in ContainerDesk
1.4.1
October 26, 2026
SSH CONNECTION: RSA AND ECDSA KEYS An RSA key was rejected by every OpenSSH 8.8 or newer server — that is, by nearly every up-to-date server. The app could only sign with SHA-1, disabled by default since 2021. It now signs with rsa-sha2-512 and rsa-sha2-256, and keeps the old format for older equipment. ECDSA keys (p256, p384, p521) are now read; they were not before. More servers reachable: AES-CTR 128/192/256 ciphers in addition to AES-GCM — Dropbear, on routers, NAS and embedded systems, has no GCM at all — and Diffie-Hellman group14 key exchange for servers without elliptic curves. And when a server genuinely has no algorithm in common with the app, the message says so, instead of claiming the host is unreachable and sending you after a network problem.
