Ssh with public key

I am attempting to configure my PR2100 with ssh without having to enter my password each time. I thought I could create public/private keys. I thought I would be able to use ssh-agent but it doesn’t look like the box has it running. I am running busybox 1.30.1. Any recommendations?

Copy over the public key to your NAS using ssh-copy-id.

Example:

ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub sshd@mycloudpr2100.local
