Getting SSH key from HA

[nova sundial]

Hello, :SChighfive:

I've been trying to make my HA capable of managing my secondary server. Turning it on/off.
For this, I'd be using shell_command and an ssh command to my server to shut it down. Issue being, I've used the terminal add on and gotten the SSH key from there. Only to realize it seems to run on TMUX? And the SSH pub key it gives me is the one from the TMUX virtual environment?

How do I go about and get the SSH key from my HA instance, so it can SSH to my other machines and run commands?

I believe that shell_command runs under the homeassistant container context. so you could switch to that context in the terminal addon.
exec -it homeassistant /bin/bash

I'm sorry I don't quite understand.
So from shell_command I would have to run exec -it homeassistant ssh root@192.168.1.24 'shutdown now'?
As terminal add-on starts a docker container?

Ok I searched a bit more. And from my understanding. I need to "disable protection mode" on the terminal add-on for this to work. However, issue being there that I don't seem to have that option...
Under settings > add-ons > Terminal & SSH > configuration. I don't have anything to do so.

Just create a new ssh key (from anywhere), put it in /config somewhere and reference it in your ssh command.

you should use "Advanced SSH & Web Terminal" instead

Oh-
Does that allow direct access to the cli of HA? Or whichever env runs shell_command?

My brain is very fuzzed and I might be not understanding very simple things...

[feral bluff]

it allows for easily disabling protection mode
