SSH RSA key generation issue -- rocker-org/rstudio:3.4.3 #67

Closed ddurden closed 6 years ago

ddurden commented 6 years ago

When trying to create an SSH RSA key in RStudio ==> Global Options ==> Git/SVN I get an error "/bin/sh: 1: ssh-keygen: not found". I think it may be due to a recent update, as this behavior does not occur when using geospatial or ropensci docker images.

I additionally, checked the terminal and saw the same error.

cboettig commented 6 years ago

um, did this ever work on the rstudio images? ssh is added in verse: https://github.com/rocker-org/rocker-versioned/blob/master/verse/Dockerfile#L33 so ropensci and geospatial should be getting it from there.

ddurden commented 6 years ago

Ah, thanks @cboettig. We were moving from ropensci to a lighter image rstudio. I checked most of the stack for the call, but I was not sure of the exact library. Sorry, I assumed something was wrong when the functionality was missing. Thanks again.

By the way, I really enjoyed your paper on using Docker as means to reproducible research.

@ddurden cool, thanks for the kind words! You might then also enjoy our recent paper specifically on the Rocker project, which I think should be out in R-Journal later this month; preview version here: https://rjournal.github.io/archive/2017/RJ-2017-065/index.html

Yeah, verse is meant to be more batteries included for these common things while being a lot smaller than ropensci, which has a lot of specialized stuff most folks don't need, as you've probably seen. Though for a custom small image probably most efficient to add just what you need directly to the base or rstudio image.

Nice, I will definitely give it a read. We actually cited your last paper in our paper on developing a DevOps framework for community-based Science software development: Metzger et al., 2017. You might find it interesting.

cboettig commented 6 years ago

will check it out, thanks!

In case anyone ever comes across this and wants to generate SSH keys, it works to simply extend the image with the openssh-server package.

FROM rocker/tidyverse

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
  openssh-server --no-install-recommends
