I’m able to ssh into my droplet from my local machine. However, I have a gitlab pipelines job that fails to SSH to the production server at digital ocean. As far as I can tell, I’ve done everything correctly:
~/.ssh/authorized_keys
chmod -R go= ~/.ssh
and chown -R $USER:$USER ~/.ssh
as this guide suggests.PRODUCTION_PRIVATE_KEY
variable in the CI/CD settings.after running the job, it still fails when connecting to the server with the error code:
root@123.456.789.10: Permission denied (publickey).
ERROR: Job failed: exit code 1
Here’s my .gitlab-ci.yml:
before_script:
- 'which ssh-agent || ( apt-get update -y && apt-get install openssh-client -y )'
- 'apt-get update -y && apt-get -y install rsync'
- mkdir -p ~/.ssh
- eval $(ssh-agent -s)
- '[[ -f /.dockerenv ]] && echo -e "Host *\n\tStrictHostKeyChecking no\n\n" > ~/.ssh/config'
stage_deploy:
artifacts:
paths:
- /
#only run script when pushed to master branch
only:
- master
script:
#get private key
- ssh-add <(echo "$PRODUCTION_PRIVATE_KEY")
#make a _tmp directory on server **THIS IS WHERE IT FAILS**
- ssh -p22 root@123.456.789.10 "mkdir /var/www/html/example.com_tmp"
#copy all repo files to _tmp
- rsync -avz --exclude=.git --exclude=src -r /builds/geochanto/example-wp/ george@123.456.789.10:/var/www/html/example.com_tmp
#move site folder to _old, move _tmp to site
- ssh -p22 j8rqv2sd9lt6@107.180.54.236 "mv /var/www/html/example.com/ /var/www/html/example.com_old && mv /var/www/html/example.com_tmp /var/www/html/example.com"
#remove _old folder
- ssh -p22 j8rqv2sd9lt6@107.180.54.236 "rm /var/www/html/example.com_old"

Hello, @geochanto
May I ask if the IP address is actually legit - 123.456.789.10 ? Or you need to change this to 107.180.54.236?
Looking forward to your reply.
Regards, Alex
