GITCLONE via SSH within a container, using ahn SSH key pair

[Jean-Baptiste-Lasselle]

hi again @willhallonline ,

• As mentioned earlier, I am currently using your willhallonline/ansible:2.8-centos image
• I am not sure it is due to your image design, or related to the underlying centos, or my simple wide ignorance, but I tested and re-tested a couple dozen of times, until I made it sure :
  • what I wanted to do , is to git clone my ansible playbook, into the container, to execute it.
  • I have an ssh key pair, inside a folder, of path /path/to/my/secrets/.ssh, where /path/ is a folder that does not exist in the centos filesystem layout. So I just create it, and put away my keypair into it.
  • I use the GIT_SSH_COMMAND to specify to git clone command, where the private key is. export GIT_SSH_COMMAND='ssh -i /path/to/my/secrets/.ssh/my_private_key_file'.
  • And here is what I made sure :
  • unless export GIT_SSH_COMMAND='ssh -i~/.ssh/id_rsa',
  • ssh -Tvvvai /path/to/my/secrets/.ssh/my_private_key_file git@gitlab.com always succeeds (no SSH problem)
  • git clone $SSH_URI_TO_MY_REPO will always fail 'permission denied',
  • and the git clone still fails even if I :

chmod 700 -R /path/to/my/secrets/.ssh
chmod 644 -R /path/to/my/secrets/.ssh/my_public_key_file.pub
chmod 600 -R /path/to/my/secrets/.ssh/my_private_key_file

Don't hesitate asking me any additional infos,

And thank you for your work.

ps: worth mentioning, I don't use at all this repo, I just docker pull willhallonline/ansible:2.8-centos, and build my own image, FROM yours.

Hey @Jean-Baptiste-Lasselle , thanks for the great write up of your issue. I think that I understand the issue, however, I am not sure that I can help too much as I haven't really used this in a similar way. I will leave this issue open for the future to see whether I can fix it or do some testing.

I am going to close this, not sure what I can do and I can't reproduce bug.
