I tried added a key file and even a password txt but both lead to it still asking for me to type in the password.
Is it because the drive is encrypted? I tried placing the files at /, /boot, /root, /etc
Edit1: I’ve tried to install dropbear and give it ssh keys. I will try to reboot in the morning and see what happens
Edit2: signing in via ssh just says port 22 rejected not working :(
Yeah, I don’t think there are many benefits when keeping the key on the same drive. Other than a bit of obfuscation. It does still help with erasing, as you can wipe the keyslots (rendering the key useless) but with modern storage media deletion is fairly hard to ensure. But still better than unencrypted.
