Hi, as i am just an IT-Pro using windows, i was asking myself, how to generate the RSA-Keyfile. Tried to put the R>egistry-Key, Putty generates into a file but i get the log entry in iobroker:

[getConnection] error: Cannot parse privateKey: Unsupported key format, stack: Error: Cannot parse privateKey: Unsupported key format at Client.connect (/opt/iobroker/node_modules/ssh2/lib/client.js:243:13) at /opt/iobroker/node_modules/node-ssh/lib/cjs/index.js:193:24 at new Promise () at NodeSSH.connect (/opt/iobroker/node_modules/node-ssh/lib/cjs/index.js:173:15) at LinuxControl.getConnection (/opt/iobroker/node_modules/iobroker.linux-control/main.js:931:12) at LinuxControl.refreshHost (/opt/iobroker/node_modules/iobroker.linux-control/main.js:74:21) -- linux-control.0 | 2021-09-01 01:43:00.729 | error | [getConnection] Could not establish a connection to 'OctoPrint' (192.168.xx.xx:22)!

Would be great, if you could add documentation, how to get/generate the keyfile. Thank you very much in advance.
