Hey, I have installed the ssh configuration and while it works to use the UI to navigate. Is it possible to use it from my laptop to the HAOS?

I have an SSH key generated with different algorithm and I keep getting the error: corrupted Mac on input

I did! It’s 22 default and I have this port forwarded

How did you generate it?

I tried this:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your_email@example.com"

and then I tried:

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "your_email@example.com"

#

I am able to use the terminal on the UI:

#

This is my Configuration:

username: mikeez
password: hidden
authorized_keys:
  - >-
    ssh-ed25519
    A...HIDDEN..... mikeez
sftp: false
compatibility_mode: false
allow_agent_forwarding: false
allow_remote_port_forwarding: false
allow_tcp_forwarding: false

#

compatibility_mode: true

Made it work.....

#

Option ssh: compatibility_mode
This SSH add-on focuses on security and has therefore only enabled known secure encryption methods. However, some older clients do not support these. Setting this option to true will enable the original default set of methods, allowing those clients to connect.

Note: Enabling this option, lowers the security of your SSH server!

How ed25519 ...NOT... a known one...
