How to save ssh remote password? #25

Closed Sub028 closed 8 years ago

Sub028 commented 8 years ago

Hi, first of all, i want to thank you for this helpful script! It works fine manually but each time I launch your script with "/usr/local/sbin/auto-gitlab-backup/auto-gitlab-backup.sh", it asks me the remote ssh password. In fact, I can't find option in "auto-gitlab-backup.conf" which refers to remote password. Is it "rsync_password_file"? Thanks

Are you using sshkeys? Make sure the user the cron job runs as has access to the key file.

Thanks, it works! By using "ssh-keygen -t rsa" (on local server), i got a ssh public key which i have pasted in "~/.ssh/authorized_keys" (on the remote server).
