Here’s what I did:
On my mac, I used terminal to generate a public key, then I added that public key to the SSH add-on configuration yaml, then restarted the SSH add-on.
My username in terminal is mediaone. At the end of the public key I see “[email protected]”.
When I pasted the public key into the yaml config (with quotes), it re-wrote it as I would expect it to:
- >-
ssh-rsa
AAAAB3NzaC....etc.....
I would expect at this point that I could use terminal to simply type ssh homeassistant (which is the network name of the machine).
When I do that, I am greeted with:
mediaone@homeassistant: Permission denied (publickey, keyboard-interactive.)
Now, normally if I were to ssh-copy-id user@host I would be prompted with a password on the first go, then after that it would be smooth sailing. In this case, with the add-on, I’m not sure if I need to establish a password somehow or not…but I am being prompted for one.
Am I missing something?
