Ok everyone, so the instructions are there just a little disjointed.
The concept is for a windows pc will be similar on mac/linux with a few differences.
1. You need to generate a keypair from your pc to input into your start9.
2. You then need to add the private key to your start9 that you generated. The program that is easiest to use on windows is putty to create keys and save them.
3. Connect to start9 and issue podman commands to enter containers.
This is the link on inputting ket to start9:

This is mac/linux:

once you are at your start9 prompt you can then issue the command below:
sudo podman exec -it bitcoind.embassy bitcoin-cli gettxoutsetinfo
