Hi
I’m trying to setup gitlab CI. I need to understand how to install ssh to be able to copy files to the webserver.
Im reading these two docs: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/ssh_keys/README.html https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ssh/README.html#generating-a-new-ssh-key-pair
I would like to make this yml work for me: https://medium.com/@hfally/a-gitlab-ci-config-to-deploy-to-your-server-via-ssh-43bf3cf93775
I have created the ssh key on the webserver and on the gitlab server I added the public key. And then I set varaible SSH_PRIVATE_KEY as the private key.
When I run pipeline I get: Permission denied (publickey,password).
Do I need to do anyting on the gitlab runner macchine?

Hello, Br
You need to copy the public key from the gitlab runner macchine (id_rsa.pub) in the authorized_keys file in the server where you want to connect.
Basically the public key - id_rsa.pub needs to be added in the authorized_keys file on the server where you will copy the files.
If you’re having any issues you can also paste the content of the /etc/ssh/ssh_config file as well.
Let me know if you have any questions.
