SOLVED : How to configure a public/provate key pair for this SSH addon ?

[HuguesD]

Hi,

I am a newbie and have just configured a home assistant server on a raspberry PI4. I have added this SSH addon to it and I can SSH to it via the integrated web browser of home assistant.
I have putty on windows and would like to SSH to it remotely. But I want to install a public/private key pair (I have generated the key pair via puttygen).
How do I configure the private/public key pair in this SSH module ? Is there any dcumentation with step by step commands to run?

thanks

If you go to the add-on in Home Assistant, you'll find a "Documentation" tab for that add-on.
It contains documentation on the configuration options and an configuration example:

Thanks. I have added the public key in this config file and i have wriiten "enabled" in the network section. However Putty returns "connection refused" (in putty I have configured the IP addres, port 22 and I have selected the private key in the SSL section). See screensho

SSH is disabled, as there is no port assigned to the host. Update enabled -> 22, save it and restart the add-on.

Additionally, by the looks of it, you are in the wrong repository. The configuration shown is not this add-on.

This is the community SSH add-on, you are showing configuration of the official core add-on. (So you are in the wrong place).

Thanks it works now. Eventhough it is not the same addon
