Hi,

I had issues with my bridge who is running on a Raspberry pi 3+ so i've decided to completely reinstall it.

First i saved my torrc file and my "keys" folder from /var/lib/tor.

First thing i did after a clean install of the server was to copy and paste my torrc file in /etc/tor/ and the files  "ed25519_master_id_secret_key" and "secret_id_key" in the keys directory.

Anyway after starting Tor i had the following messages in notices.log:

[warn] http status 400 '"looks like your keypair has changed?...etc...etc...

i decided to completely replace the content of the keys folder by my backup but i still have the same message.

When i go to Tor relay search i see my bridge with two different identities and both are offline ( one of the hashed fingerprints is the right one). Anyway if i run "nyx" i can see that Tor is working, reachable from the outside and some circuits are built.

I suspect i make a mistake with the "keys" but i'm a little bit lost.

Can you guys help me please ?
