kandi X-RAY | ssh-agent Summary

ssh-agent is a JavaScript library typically used in Devops, Continuous Deployment, Docker applications. ssh-agent has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has medium support. You can download it from GitHub.

It should work in all GitHub Actions virtual environments, including container-based workflows. Windows and Docker support is, however, somewhat new. Since we have little feedback from the field, things might not run so smooth for you as we'd hope. If Windows and/or Docker-based workflows work well for you, leave a :+1: at Also, using multiple GitHub deployment keys is supported; keys are mapped to repositories by using SSH key comments (see below).

I'm trying to deploy my Docker Image to the server via GitLab CI. I have set variables inside yml file and I am connecting to my server via SSH. Is it possible to automatically use variables inside the yml file or do I have to pass them one by one to SSH?

also, I would like to know if there is a better way to deploy this other than my way.

Docker out of the box can connect to a remote Docker Daemon using SSH. So no need to copy docker-compose.yaml or forward environment variables.

All you need is to set the DOCKER_HOST variable to point to the SSH uri of your remote docker daemon.

QUESTION

Python, the relationship between the bash/python/subprocess processes (shells)?

Asked 2022-Mar-13 at 16:17

When trying to write script with python, I have a fundamental hole of knowledge.

Update: Thanks to the answers I corrected the word shell to process/subprocess

Nomenclature

Starting with a Bash prompt, lets call this BASH_PROCESS
Then within BASH_PROCESS I run python3 foo.py, the python script runs in say PYTHON_SUBPROCESS
Within foo.py is a call to subprocess.run(...), this subprocess command runs in say `SUBPROCESS_SUBPROCESS
Within foo.py is subprocess.run(..., shell=True), this subprocess command runs in say SUBPROCESS_SUBPROCESS=True

Test for if a process/subprocess is equal

Say SUBPROCESS_A starts SUBPROCESS_B. In the below questions, when I say is SUBPROCESS_A == SUBPROCESS_B, what I means is if SUBPROCESS_B sets an env variable, when it runs to completion, will they env variable be set in SUBPROCESS_A? If one runs eval "$(ssh-agent -s)" in SUBPROCESS_B, will SUBPROCESS_A now have an ssh agent too?

Question

Using the above nomenclature and equality tests

Is BASH_PROCESS == PYTHON_SUBPROCESS?
Is PYTHON_SUBPROCESS == SUBPROCESS_SUBPROCESS?
Is PYTHON_SUBPROCESS == SUBPROCESS_SUBPROCESS=True?
If SUBPROCESS_SUBPROCESS=True is not equal to BASH_PROCESS, then how does one alter the executing environment (e.g. eval "$(ssh-agent -s)") so that a python script can set up the env for the calller?

...

ANSWER

Answered 2022-Mar-13 at 11:21

None of those equalities are true, and half of those "shells" aren't actually shells.

Your bash shell is a shell. When you launch your Python script from that shell, the Python process that runs the script is a child process of the bash shell process. When you launch a subprocess from the Python script, that subprocess is a child process of the Python process. If you launch the subprocess with shell=True, Python invokes a shell to parse and run the command, but otherwise, no shell is involved in running the subprocess.

Child processes inherit environment variables from their parent on startup (unless you take specific steps to avoid that), but they cannot set environment variables for their parent. You cannot run a Python script to set environment variables in your shell, or run a subprocess from Python to set your Python script's environment variables.

ANSWER

Answered 2022-Mar-10 at 08:57

Try and set set "GIT_SSH_COMMAND=ssh -Tv" first, before python test.py in CMD.

You will see exactly what Git is using as SSH key, to understand why it does not access the remote repository.

You can do the same in a git bash session (where the environment variable set in the CMD will be inherited).

Your script probably shouldn't start ssh-agent; it should make use of an ssh-agent that's already running. That way, the user is responsible for starting a single agent that can be used by multiple invocations of the script.

The simplest thing you can do, though, is simply add either

Why is it trying to access the SSH on this path :

This should be related to the account used by gitlab-ci: it is supposed to look for SSH settings in $HOME/.ssh: display first what $HOME is.

If you look at the official documentation, you will see an SSH setup relies on proper rights associated to SSH folders/files:

Support

When using Github deploy keys, GitHub servers will accept the first known key. But since deploy keys are scoped to a single repository, this might not be the key needed to access a particular repository. Thus, you will get the error message fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists. if the wrong key/repository combination is tried. To support picking the right key in this use case, this action scans key comments and will set up extra Git and SSH configuration to make things work.
