Current Behavior

5. Click Save Changes
6. Configure Target
7. Run Scan (Tested OSINT Scan)

Environment

- reNgine: 2.2.0
- OS: Ubuntu 24.04
- Python: 3.12.3
- Docker Engine: 27.3.1
- Docker Compose: N/A
- Browser: Chrome 129.0.6668.70

Anything else?

When the scan runs and theHarvester is run, it attempts to pick up the api-keys.yaml file from /root/.theHarvester/api-keys.yaml as per screenshot below:

When connecting to the celery container and checking the file, no keys are saved in this file.

Connecting to the celery docker container rengine-celery-1 using sudo docker exec -it rengine-celery-1 /bin/bash, I located that the file in the below location /usr/src/github/theHarvester/api-keys.yaml is the file updated by the GUI.

As a work around I've copied the /usr/src/github/theHarvester/api-keys.yaml to the one in the /root/.theHarvester/ location.
