My source code is stored on a github private repo. So I ran into an issue:
how to clone from the private repo. Normally I would upload the SSH keys
to to github and be done with it.
But my servers are dynamic - always going up and down - and I couldn't find
a github API to auto-sync the SSH keys.
My workaround was to create a new github user, then add that user as a
collaborator to the private repo. This gives the user read-only access to
the private repo. I embed the collaborator username/password in my cap
script, and everything works.
To make the https username/password a little more clean, I'm setting up a
.netrc file as part of my cap3 deploy:
desc "Setup .netrc"
task :netrc do |task|
on roles(:all) do |host|
execute "echo 'machine github.com login <username> password
#{ENV['<password>']}' > ~/.netrc"
end
end
So - this approach is working 100% fine.
But can it be better? Lee says he hates using https, and I agree. Is
there a better solution for cloning/pulling from a Github private repo?
