"git push dokku" keeps asking for "dokku@..." password-CodePudding

On my remote server all I did is:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dokku/dokku/v0.26.6/bootstrap.sh;
sudo DOKKU_TAG=v0.26.6 bash bootstrap.sh

dokku apps:create node-sample

Then on my local machine:

git clone https://github.com/pedropaf/node-sample-dokku
cd .\node-sample-dokku\

git remote add dokku [email protected]:node-sample

ssh-keygen -f vincent

cat vincent.pub | ssh [email protected] dokku ssh-keys:add git-deploy

(I can see the ssh key when I run ssh-keys:list in my remote server)

still locally:

ssh-add vincent

Then when I run:

git push dokku main

I receive:

[email protected]'s password:

I don't understand why it doesn't establish the ssh connection and request the user password instead (user that doesn't exist)

CodePudding user response：

So you are following the article "Hosting NodeJs Apps on Your Own Heroku, Using Dokku" from Pedro Alonso

The problem is: you are using a non-default naming convention for your SSH key (vincent.pub for you, dokku_rsa.pub in the article)

For a git push to work, you would need:

an %USERPROFILE%/.ssh/config file set to reference your private key
a remote URL using the .ssh/config Host entry

That is

# .ssh/config
Host dokku
  Hostname 116.123.123.123
  User dokku
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/vincent

And:

cd /C/path/to/local/clone
git remote set-url dokku dokku:node-sample

Then a git push would use your private key.

From the discussion and the comments, Vincent has found "SSH-Key authentication fails" and did:

sudo chown dokku:dokku /home/dokku/ -R
sudo chmod o-rwx /home/dokku/ -R

That was enough to make the dokku SSH URL work.
