"SSH Public Keys" in account settings are completely ignored
Hello, I am trying to access the env variables, as well as standard
PUBLIC_KEY variable, that I specify for my pod from my python app. However they are only set when I am connecting with ssh via proxy server. Proxy is extremely slow and does not allow scp to be run through it. When I try to connect directly (via public ip), the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys is not configured at all with the public key I set in the settings. The env vars that I pass during the pod creation are also missing.
Two problems:
- why isn't the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file created and populated with my public key from account settings
- why env variables are missing when connecting directly via public ip to my instance? I assume proxy has some .bashrc which is activated when I connect through it, but why the env vars are not set with -e parameter in docker run command for the pod?Solution:Jump to solution
in your running pod
xargs -0 -L1 -a /proc/1/environ will list the environment variables that the process is getting, which is launched on container start. if there is a PUBLIC_KEY given to your pod, it will be there. if this process is a bash and doesn't export those variables when starting other processes, it will be the only process who knows about your PUBLIC_KEY4 Replies
Usually on official RunPod templates ssh keys at injected on start on community templates not sure. If you looking for easy way to setup true ssh with password I made tool for that https://pypi.org/project/OhMyRunPod/

@Wolfsauge thank you very much, will come up with some workaround to export them globally
