Hi, I've been struggling to understand how to properly use sshPrivateKey to fetch the contents from a private repository on GitHub.
(It would be really helpful to have an example more clearly listed in the documentation.) I followed https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/generating-a-new-ssh-key-and-adding-it-to-the-ssh-agent#generating-a-new-ssh-key to generate a new private key via: ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "your_em...@example.com" and stored it to "secrets/id_ed25519". I used the following code: c['secretsProviders'] = [secrets.SecretInAFile(dirname='secrets')] ... f.addStep( steps.Git( repourl = 'g...@github.com:me/somerepo.git', mode = 'full', sshPrivateKey = util.Secret('id_ed25519'), sshKnownHosts = util.Secret('known_hosts'), ) ) I checked that the key (id_ed25519) actually works to clone the repository, and the following command works when executed manually on the worker: git -c 'core.sshCommand=ssh -o "BatchMode=yes" -i /path/to/ssh-key -o "UserKnownHostsFile=path/to/ssh-known-hosts"' clone --branch master g...@github.com:me/somerepo.git . --progres But I'm getting Cloning into '.'... Load key "/path/to/worker/.workername.build.buildbot/ssh-key": invalid format Permission denied (publickey). fatal: Could not read from remote repository. I've seen some claims that only the first line in the secret file is actually used (at least in some cases), but I have no idea how it works for a private key. What's the best way to diagnose what exactly is going on? I'm using buildbot 3.0.0 / python 3.6.8. Thank you very much, Mojca _______________________________________________ users mailing list users@buildbot.net https://lists.buildbot.net/mailman/listinfo/users
