HOWTO: How to access the Home Assistant OS host itself over ssh

This helped me. I’ve needed to change some things because I have “SSH & Web Terminal” from Community instead of official “Terminal & SSH”.

In step 2: Find container name for my addon with:

docker ps

Change container name and folder when copying:

docker cp addon_xxxxx_ssh:/etc/ssh/authorized_keys .

Step 3:

systemctl start dropbear

And just no problems with ssh root@my_ip -p 22222
