[solved]Mount sftp at boot without password

Hi

I cant seem to get an SFTP server to mount at boot without a password. I have set up a key pair between the client and server and that work for login with SSH, but doesnt work when mounting.

Normal SSH login to the server

═⮞ ssh 'cloud@192.168.1.2'
Linux raspberrypi 6.1.21+ #1642 Mon Apr  3 17:19:14 BST 2023 armv6l

Mounting the drive with fstab

═⮞ sudo mount -a
cloud@192.168.1.2's password: 
═⮞

/etc/fstab

cloud@192.168.1.2:/home/cloud/  /home/danny/cloud       sshfs   allow_other,_netdev     0       0

Edit - I solved by adding IdentityFile="/home/danny/.ssh/id_ed25519"
