Failed to pull GitHub private repo

I know this has been asked before - but I absolutely don't get how to solve it from the responds. I got the SSH key from SSH keys settings, pasted it to my SSH keys on GitHub. I use the Devcontainer template, with my own repository URL. I keep getting an error:

Solution:

ok - someone on Stackoverflow faced the same problem. I was trying to authenticate on the host with host_name:7080 but once I replaced host_name with localhost it just works. I don't know what is happening anymore

I also ran $GIT_SSH_COMMAND from the container terminal, and it tells me:

running clone from the terminal also fails even though GIT_SSH_COMMAND is set - I think I'm missing something basic here:

/$ sudo git clone [email protected]:MyUsername/my-repository.git
Cloning into 'my-repository'...
[email protected]: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

whoops sorry, I didn't see you're using envbuilder

If I do that can I still use the template through?

Phorcys•2mo ago

yes

Some DinosaurOP•2mo ago

I should mention I'm not very smart. But from my perspective I put in a name, github URL (ssh), my github account has Coder SSH set. I click green button and it starts working. So my decision points are literally - SSH key and URL. Next part where I can change anything is .devcontainer folder with Dockerfile and everything else - but I can't get this far :c since I cannot clone the repository. I see the workaround description to just download the key to the environment - I just have no idea where in this user-scenario I can achieve it.

use external Auth

data "coder_external_auth" "github" {
  id = "primary-auth"
}

data "coder_external_auth" "github" {
  id = "primary-auth"
}

And set token for envbuilder

    "ENVBUILDER_GIT_USERNAME" : data.coder_external_auth.github.access_token,

    "ENVBUILDER_GIT_USERNAME" : data.coder_external_auth.github.access_token,

you should setup external Auth for Coder agent first

Some DinosaurOP•2mo ago

you mean in the .tf file of my template? I can't change anything there. Publish is grayed out and nothing I do here's saved

Luna Lovegood•2mo ago

build it before publish

Some DinosaurOP•2mo ago

ok so I guess i'd do this here - but how?

Some DinosaurOP•2mo ago

This Build works like every 10th time I click it, and keeps spitting 500 error to my browser console without any other feedback on what's wrong

Luna Lovegood•2mo ago

there is a link to document on that page what is message of 500 error?

Some DinosaurOP•2mo ago

It stopped with 500 - now it just keeps saying it cannot connect for logs and the thing keeps spinning and build never stops Running

Some DinosaurOP•2mo ago

I've set the external Auth, I added the thing to .tf file, both environment variable "ENVBUILDER_GIT_USERNAME" : data.coder_external_auth.github.access_token, and the external auth. And I still get the same exact error:

#1: 🔑 Using SSH authentication!
#1: 🔑 No SSH key found, falling back to agent!
#1: ❌ Failed to connect to SSH agent: error creating SSH agent: "SSH agent requested but SSH_AUTH_SOCK not-specified"

this says we're good, I click the test, it says we're good. So what's wrong now?

Some DinosaurOP•2mo ago

Ok so OAuth will never work with pulling repo through ssh - but with HTTPS it works. But I still want to know how to set up the alternative - pushing the SSH in a file.

Luna Lovegood•2mo ago

yeb, envbuilder doesn't use ssh setup by coder agent. If you want to use ssh to clone repo for envbuilder, pass ssh private key through

ENVBUILDER_SSH_PRIVATE_KEY_BASE64

ENVBUILDER_SSH_PRIVATE_KEY_BASE64

(or similar, check on their docs)

Phorcys•4w ago

hey @Some Dinosaur, did you figure it out?

Some DinosaurOP•4w ago

I haven't got a chance to try passing the raw key yet. Ok, I tried to set up the same thing that worked with OAuth on a different machine. Now every time I click Click to Login I get:

{"message":"Cookie \"oauth_state\" must be provided."}

{"message":"Cookie \"oauth_state\" must be provided."}

nice, this is still pretty weird though
