Doing a push to my user git repository

Doing a push to my user git repository

[Adolf Belka]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 596 bytes --]

Hi All,

Sorry for my lack of activities over the last period but I had some non-computing issues to deal with.

Back again now and starting to look through some previous stuff.

The user git repository that I have available. Reading through the wiki it looks like I need to use ssh to access it and do a push of any local changes to my user repository.

I have created an ssh key but the public file will need to be put into the git repository server. Do I just need to send the public key to this distribution list or is there some other process to get it added.


Regards,
Adolf.

Hello Adolf,

We do not use SSH keys in our infrastructure. Instead we use Kerberos authentication.

For that, you do not have to do anything apart from authenticating using a password as usual. In the background the server will acquire a Kerberos ticket automatically.

You should be able to log in at people.ipfire.org using SSH with your username and your password. Can you check if that works?

After adding a Match Host command to my ssh_config to allow password 
authentication I was able to login with ssh to people.ipfire.org. It 
immediately logged me out again with the following message:-

fatal: Interactive git shell is not enabled.
hint: ~/git-shell-commands should exist and have read and execute access.
Connection to people.ipfire.org closed.

Reading about this I suspect that is expected because I should not be 
working with git interactively but it proves that my ssh connection is 
working.

I will now try out accessing my user repository via ssh and seeing if 
that works.

Thanks for the help.

Yes, this is correct. This was just to test the SSH connection.

You should be able to push things to this repository by setting it up as a remote repository first:

  git remote add bonnietwin ssh://bonnietwin(a)people.ipfire.org/…

And then use pull and push :)

Struggling to make this work. If I just use ssh://bonnietwin(a)people.ipfire.org/ as above then I get the following message when I try a push.

fatal: '/' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

I tried adding bonnietwin/ipfire-2.x.git/ to the end of the url but that gave the same error message.Basically just a guess on my part but it was wrong.
Looking at my user repository in a browser the url is completely different so I have no idea what I need to use for the url for my repository when accessing it via ssh.

I suspect that I have made more than the allowed errors as I now can't even connect any more and get the following message:-

ssh: connect to host people.ipfire.org port 22: Network is unreachable
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Not sure if this will be accessible again after some time or if I am permanently blocked and need it to be released.

Either way I need and would appreciate some guidance.

Regards,

Adolf.

The full path is on the gitweb page here: https://git.ipfire.org/?p=people/bonnietwin/ipfire-2.x.git;a=summary

  ssh://bonnietwin(a)people.ipfire.org/pub/git/people/bonnietwin/ipfire-2.x.git

LOL. This shouldn’t happen if you authenticate properly. If this locks you out again send a note to Peter to have a look at this.

> Not sure if this will be accessible again after some time or if I am permanently blocked and need it to be released.

It is a temporary block and should be working again now.

If you need anything else, just let me know.

That seems so obvious today when you show it but I failed to see it yesterday.
Anyway it has worked for me today and I have done my first successful push to my repository.
Thanks very much. :-)

I suspect Fail2Ban just looks at the frequency of attempts whether they are authenticated or not.
Shouldn't be a problem in the future because I won't be trying multiple different paths over a short time period. :-)

Yes, but it seems to count unsupported authentication methods as a failed attempt. But hey, at least it works for now...

Hello,

I just ran into this again when using non-Kerberos authentication from a different host (a build server).

This is very annoying and I had to several times unblock myself.

@Peter: Could you please have a look at this again.
