  • host key v15.0.0
    value

    The key the server must present, so a machine-in-the-middle cannot collect the password. Either a SHA256 fingerprint (`ssh-keyscan host | ssh-keygen -lf -`) or a public key line (`ssh-ed25519 AAAA...`). Left empty the server is not authenticated and the fingerprint it presented is logged instead, unless the node runs with [drivers] ssh_strict_host_key.

A typical wiring for open connection: a function trigger starts the flow; the flow out pin feeds debug.
