Cannot create ssh provider

[jzazo]

What happened?

When trying to create a new ssh provider I get an error message to verify I can execute ssh. The message is badly formatted, but after correcting it, it works.

The image output command is badly formatted.

I run the following command successfully:

ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -o BatchMode=yes -p 2222 my_username@127.0.0.1

What did you expect to happen instead?
I can add a new ssh provider

How can we reproduce the bug? (as minimally and precisely as possible)
Install devpod and click add ssh provider and add one as in the image:

Local Environment:

• DevPod Version: 0.5.12
• Operating System: windows
• ARCH of the OS: AMD64

DevPod Provider:

• Local/remote provider: ssh

Hey @jzazo, thanks for reporting the issue. We've just release a new version of the SSH provider. Could you upgrade and check if it please?

Hello,

I've exactly the same error than @jzazo

When I execute the command is OK :

C:\Users\PC>ssh -oStrictHostKeyChecking=no -oBatchMode=yes -i C:\Users\PC\.ssh\private root@192.168.1.30 echo Devpod Test

Result : Devpod Test

I'am using the latest version:

Hey @jzazo, thanks for reporting the issue. We've just release a new version of the SSH provider. Could you upgrade and check if it please?

Is there a way to upgrade efficiently? I uninstalled devpod, downloaded a new installer and reinstalled. The issue persists.

[pascalbreuninger]

You only need to update the provider, not DevPod itself. You can do this in DevPod Desktop in the provider view > Update or via cli devpod provider update ssh

[jzazo]

In devpod desktop, I cannot update, because there is no entry. Any new entry I try to create is rejected. In cli, I cannot add port:

PS C:\Users\javierzazo> devpod provider update ssh
20:49:41 done Successfully updated provider ssh
20:49:41 info The SSH Host to connect to. Example: my-user@my-domain.com

It's ok for me, i've uninstall & reinstall the DevOp and use the latest version : https://github.com/loft-sh/devpod-provider-ssh/releases/download/v0.0.14/provider.yaml

[jzazo]

I am using custom port 2222, could that make a difference?

I downloaded same provider as @fboukezzoula and added it as a custom provider. Tried again and it failed.

[thomasxd24]

@jzazo Yes the port is what makes the bug, v0.014 should fix the issue.

[jzazo]

I am not sure what I am doing wrong, but I ran the following:

devpod provider delete ssh
devpod provider add https://github.com/loft-sh/devpod-provider-ssh/releases/download/v0.0.14/provider.yaml

It asks for the HOST and then fails, because I never gave it the port (it does not ask for it). If I give the url to the custom provider in the GUI, it does not help, I still get the same error.

The command that the error tells me to run, works.
